Below you will find a link to a bulletin about the CSS Tentative Agreement from CSSBA, Community Social Services Bargaining Association
The Community Social Services Bargaining Association (CSSBA) is pleased to announce that a tentative agreement has been reached with the Community Social Services Employers Association (CSSEA).

The tentative agreement was negotiated with ten unions who represent members in the agreement: BCGEU, CUPE, HEU, HSA, CSWU Local 1611, CLAC, USW 1-417, UFCW and BCNU.
CUPE has been at the bargaining table since February 2022, working hard to bring forward the priorities our members identified. These priorities include fair and equitable wages to address rising costs of living, meaningful recognition and rights for Indigenous workers, and the ability to address members’ health needs including mental health supports.
The tentative agreement has a three-year term and includes the following highlights:

The CSSBA negotiating committee unanimously supports the tentative agreement and is encouraging all members to vote in favour of ratification.
