Our Current

Collective Bargaining Agreement

 While our 2019-2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement expired on June 30, 2025, all rights and responsibilities outlined by that agreement (including all MOAs and grievance resolve agreements) remain intact while we continue to negotiate a successor agreement. 

Visit our Negotiations Hub for our latest bargaining process updates!

Negotiations Hub

All Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) interpretation and practice questions are reviewed monthly by the Professional Practices, Rights, and Responsibilities (PPR&R) Committee (aka the “Grievance Committee”).

Any member-initiated question that could result in a CBA change must be reviewed by the committee before action will be taken.

  • If you believe your rights have been violated, or you want to challenge a CBA related decision, please complete a Contract Review Form.
