What does the collective agreement say?
A collective bargaining agreement (CBA) is a written agreement in which agreements on working conditions include. For example, about wages, allowances, payment of overtime, working hours, probationary period, notice period or pension. A collective agreement applies to a large group of people.
Every collective agreement has a start and an end date. Around the end date, collective agreement parties, usually employer and employee organisations, enter into consultations to agree on a new collective agreement. The term of the current cleaning collective agreement is from 1 January 2022 to 1 July 2024.
"Good working conditions are more than just a good salary.
