OSEA-CSD Bargaining 8

OSEA-CSD labor-bargaining meeting, Info Central, September 15, 2026. The parties reviewed contract proposals across several articles, with some language appearing close to agreement and other items left for further review. Topics included job titles and classifications, annual route bidding and how substitute-driver service would count toward seniority (including a proposed cap of up to 184 days of credit), transfer procedures and timelines, sick-leave-bank membership and use, discipline and pre-termination hearings, and arbitration. The parties also discussed forming a smaller work group to address Article 3 and planned to exchange revised language on outstanding items.

The sick-leave-bank proposal included a two-day contribution, a committee to review requests, and a proposed annual distribution limit of 1,400 hours; the union raised questions about contribution rules and the limit. The discussion reflected ongoing negotiations rather than a completed agreement, and no formal votes or procurement actions were identified.
