Waterloo Elementary OECTA Bargaining Survey 2020

The Elementary Bargaining Committee is working on developing a proposal for our local Collective Agreement (Part B of our Collective Agreement). There are two parts to our Collective Agreement. Part A, the Central Terms, deal with issues that have a financial implication (such as salaries, benefits, and sick leave) and have been negotiated at the Provincial Bargaining table. Part B, the Local Terms, deal with any remaining items that were not negotiated Centrally and do not have financial implications.

We ask that you take the time to complete the following survey. The committee will use the results of the survey to help us as we finalize a proposal for Part B of the Collective Agreement.

Please note that a “1” on the scale indicates that the question has little impact on your day and a ‘5’ indicates that the question greatly impacts your day.
