Contract Information

Collective Agreement

bulletThe Collective Agreement is negotiated between the District 11 Teachers' Bargaining Unit and the Thames Valley District School Board. It outlines all of the details of the salary, benefits and working conditions under which members of the bargaining unit will work. 
bulletIt is critical that members know and understand the collective agreement. If you think that part of the collective agreement has been violated, contact your Branch President or the District Office immediately. Where the collective agreement has been violated, the District Office will intervene to try to correct it or, if necessary, launch a Grievance to try to have the situation remedied.
bulletThis is a confidential document. There should be five copies at each Branch. It is also accessible by going to the TVDSB website, clicking on "My Employee Portal" and then "View My Collective Agreement".

Reciprocal Transfers

bulletDue to timelines, information regarding secondary reciprocal transfers is noted below:
bulletAs per Article 31, secondary teachers who wish to be considered for a reciprocal transfer with a teacher in another school in either panel for September 1, 2006, are to complete the "Secondary Reciprocal Transfer Request" form and submit it to Cynthia Bain, Operations Services, CEC South by fax [(519) (633-4276)], courier, or by hand.  This form can be found at the board's Employee Portal under Electronic Forms - Operations.  The deadline for receipt of these signed forms is February 15, 2006.  If using the Board's courier, it is your responsibility to ensure that the forms arrive at CEC South within the stated time frames. 
bulletThe system list of all teachers requesting a reciprocal transfer shall be posted in all secondary schools and workplaces by March 1st.  The purpose of this System Reciprocal Transfer List is to allow any teacher, whether that teacher's name is on the list or not, to contact a teacher whose name is on the list to discuss the feasibility of a reciprocal transfer in accordance with Article 31.6.
bulletQuestions may be directed to Don Blair at 633-8845 or Cynthia Bain at 633-3582.
