HWDSB strives to keep its community informed about the status of labour negotiations with employee groups. All employee contracts (collective agreements) for HWDSB education workers have expired as of August 31. The collective bargaining process has started, which involves two tiers: Central and Local bargaining. A collective agreement is a written contract between the employer and a union that outlines many of the terms and conditions of employment for employees in a bargaining unit.
