COE Bargaining Update #8

Posted on 1/31/2025

Three Things to Know

  1. The 2021-2024 Collective Agreement is now available online. 
  2. Non-monetary discussions continued on January 10th and 30th, 2025.
  3. Bargaining dates have been set up to the beginning of April. 

Meetings Recap

The 2021-2024 Collective Agreement and Wage Scales are now posted on our website. When revising the Collective Agreement, both parties need to do a line-by-line review of the changes, including wage scales, which take a significant amount of time, but is also impacted by other competing priorities. Even though the Collective Agreement is expired, it continues to be in effect (also known as bridging) until a new Collective Agreement is negotiated. 

Due to some staffing changes at the Union Office which caused a backlog of work, our committee needed to cancel the January 23 bargaining date, but we met with the City on January 10 and 30 for continued non-monetary discussions. 

Some of the proposals we discussed were posting/filling vacancies, job evaluation review/appeal process, new employee orientation, investigation findings, dispute resolution process, reversion rights, contracting out, and recruitment. The parties also signed off some language and withdrew some proposals. 

What's Next

Bargaining dates have been set for February 13 and 26, March 3, 6, 14 and 25, and April 2, 3, 9 and 11, 2025. 

A City of Edmonton Contractual Unit Meeting is scheduled in the evening of March 6, 2025.

Our Coalition of Edmonton Civic Unions' partners are currently in monetary discussions and CSU 52 will be working with them where we can.
