Your Collective Agreement
Your Collective Agreement (CA) is a legally binding, written contract between the employer (OCDSB) and the labor union (OSSTF D25 OTBU) that sets the terms and conditions of our employment. It's a good idea to familiarize yourself with your rights and responsibilities contained in this document.
A hard copy of the Collective Agreement should be available in your school's mailboxes - under OT mailbox.
