The Community Living Services Collective Agreement 2019 is a document outlining the terms and conditions of employment for workers in the community living services sector in Ontario, Canada.
This agreement is the result of negotiations between the Community Living Services Employers` Association and the Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU). It covers a wide range of topics, including wages, benefits, vacation time, scheduling, and job security.
One of the key provisions of the agreement is a wage increase for workers. Under the new agreement, workers will receive a wage increase of 1.7% in each year of the three-year agreement. This increase will help workers keep up with rising living costs and ensure that they are paid fairly for their work.
The agreement also includes improvements to benefits and vacation time. Workers will be eligible for an increased number of vacation days based on length of service, as well as improved benefits such as extended health care coverage and life insurance.
Another important aspect of the agreement is the inclusion of provisions addressing job security. Workers will be protected against layoffs, and employers will be required to provide advance notice of any changes to job duties or schedules.
The Community Living Services Collective Agreement 2019 is an important document for workers in the community living services sector, as it provides them with fair wages and benefits, job security, and improved working conditions. It is also an important step in ensuring that the sector can attract and retain qualified workers, which is crucial for providing high-quality care and support for individuals with disabilities.
