Our collective bargaining agreement is negotiated with the Hillsboro School District every two years through a process called collective bargaining. During this process, union representatives and district representatives negotiate changes to wages, benefits, working conditions, and other contract provisions to ensure the agreement reflects the needs and interests of Classified Professionals and the District.
A collective bargaining agreement (CBA) is a legally binding contract between a union representing bargaining-unit employees and their employer. In this case, it establishes the terms and conditions of employment that both Classified Professionals and the Hillsboro School District are expected to follow.
Our bargaining agreement outlines:
Wages and benefits: Pay rates, raises, insurance, and other compensation.
Hours and working conditions: Work schedules, breaks, workload, and workplace expectations.
Employee rights and protections: Due process, discipline, and protections against unfair treatment.
Employer responsibilities: The obligations management must meet under the agreement.
Grievance procedures: A formal process for resolving disputes when either party believes the contract has been violated.
Union and employee rights: Representation, bargaining-unit protections, and applicable union rights.
In simple terms: A collective bargaining agreement sets the rules, rights, responsibilities, and protections that both the employer and bargaining-unit employees agree to follow.
In Oregon public schools, the agreement works alongside applicable state and federal laws. Neither the employer nor the union can use a contract provision to override controlling law.
The key point: A contract is not just a list of benefits for employees. It is a mutual commitment that establishes obligations for both the employer and the employees represented by the bargaining unit.
The Constitution & Bylaws are the foundational document for the union. This document governs the operational structure of the group. It can be amended by the membership through the constitution and bylaws committee. If we need to change how HCU operates, this is the first place to start.
The HCU Executive Board adopts policies to govern daily operations. They are reviewed by the board annually and revised throughout the year as needed.
