Your Local Issues Bargaining Committee will negotiate your Local Issues Agreement for AWRS

The Community Social Services Bargaining Association – Collective Agreement that AWRS is now a part of, covers many organizations across the sector. To accommodate the specific needs of particular organizations there are "Local Issues Agreements" that are negotiated for each specific employer – see Memorandum of Agreement #1 in the collective agreement.

The Local Issues Agreement covers issues that are specific to each employer such as:

  • article14.2 (Hours of Work) definition of programme/worksite,
          -specifically for Atira Women's Resource Society this will include negotiations of the 12-hour shifts and these shifts will be paid etc. going forward,
  • article26.2 (Paydays),
  • article30.3 (Casual Call-in Procedure),
  • client vacations and out of town assignments, special project employees,
  • and any other issues agreed to by the Union and CSSEA.

 

In solidarity,

Sarah St John
Staff Representative
