Tsc Collective Bargaining Agreement

The primary objective of these negotiations is to reach a collective agreement governing the terms of employment. Collective agreements may also address the rights and obligations of the parties, thereby ensuring harmonious and productive employment. Improving the integration of collective bargaining and collective agreements is a good way to reduce inequality and increase labour protection. The International Labour Organization (ILo) and Unicef define collective bargaining as a process by which workers, through their unions, negotiate contracts with their employers to define their terms of employment. There will be a counter-proposal from the employer before the Src Board is sought to pave the way for the signing of the agreement. This means that if TSC cannot stimulate negotiations with teachers on a new KBA, the parties will continue to use the old agreement, which is already in serious dispute after the Commission has stated that it will use two parallel pay slips in the field of public education. The biggest fear for teachers is Section 3.3 of the current CBA (2017/2021), which says in part: „This agreement remains in force and binds all parties until a new CBA is negotiated.“ The TSC collective agreement also provides that teachers in administrative classes (C4-D5) are entitled to an increase of between 16 and 22%. Through this committee, the trade unions present their proposals for discussion, according to which the Commission makes a counter-offer. The details of the interviews and the counter-offer will then be forwarded to the Wages and Compensation Commission (RCS) for consultation before Knut and TSC sign the agreement. Teachers in classes C4 to D5 benefit from a 16% increase in their basic salaries in the new collective agreement proposed by their employer. While Knut asked the employer to enter into negotiations to conclude KBA 2021/2023 within the allotted time, Knut relied on Article 41, paragraph 5 of the Constitution, which states that „every union, employer organization and employer has the right to negotiate collective agreements.“
