Collective agreements

National provisions can be broken down into two categories: intersectoral and sectoral.

Intersectoral matters address wages, the pension plan, parental rights and regional disparities. They affect all public service, education and health and social services workers. They are negotiated with the Treasury Board.

Sectoral matters are specific to the sector of activity for the job class represented. For the APTS, this means professional and technical personnel in health and social services. They are negotiated with the health and social services ministry (MSSS). Every union negotiates their own for their job classes in the sector in question.

Local provisions address 26 other aspects of working conditions, from schedules to professional liability, overtime, travel allowances, bumping procedures, leave, etc. You can consult the List of matters negotiated and agreed at the local or regional level in the social affairs sector (in French).
