​​​​​卡尔加里教育委员会和CUPE 40号地方公共雇佣联合会已经批准了一份新的集体协议。

“在CBE的成功中，从事设施和环境服务工作的员工扮演着至关重要的角色，”教育委员会主席劳拉·哈克（Laura Hack）表示。“他们的承诺确保我们的设施团队为学生创造最好的学习环境。”

该集体协议涉及约800名CBE的工会化员工，包括清洁工、设施操作员、重型机械师、油漆工、锁匠以及从事诸如清雪和场地维护等重要季节性工作的专业人员。

“我们的成员是学校日常运营的支撑，”CUPE 40号地方公共雇佣联合会主席克莱·戈登（Clay Gordon）表示。“这份协议认可了他们的无可替代的贡献，以及我们共同的目标，就是培育支持这些员工为我们的学校社区作出的贡献的工作环境。”

新的集体协议包括2.75%的普通工资增长。此外，对于处于市场下游的职位也进行了市场调整。该协议为期四年，从2020年9月1日至2024年8月31日。此外，还引入了一些非货币性福利，包括新增选项将年度支出额度划拨至健康支出账户，以及将员工的休假计划确定期限延长至5月1日。

一旦可用，更新后的集体协议将在CBE的集体协议网页上发布。

​​​​​The Board of Trustees of the Calgary Board of Education and CUPE Local 40 have ratified a new collective agreement.

"Employees who work in facility and environmental services play a vital role in the success of the CBE,” said Laura Hack, Chair of the Board of Trustees. “Their commitment ensures that our facilities teams create the best learning environments for students."

The collective agreement involves approximately 800 unionized employees at the CBE. This includes a range of professionals such as cleaners, facility operators, heavy duty mechanics, painters, locksmiths and other important seasonal workers involved in activities like snow removal and grounds maintenance.

"Our members are the backbone of schools’ day-to-day operations," said Clay Gordon, President of CUPE Local 40. "This agreement recognizes their invaluable contributions, and our shared goal of cultivating a work environment that supports the contributions these employees make to our school communities."

The new collective agreement includes general wage increases of 2.75%. It also includes market adjustments for positions that are well below the market. The agreement, a four-year term from Sept. 1, 2020 to Aug. 31, 2024, also introduces non-monetary benefits. These include the addition of an option to allocate annual spending credits to a Wellness Spending Account, and a change to give employees up to May 1 to establish their vacation schedule.

The updated collective agreement will be posted on the CBE collective agreements  web page once available.
