Glossary
- The collective bargaining agreement (CBA) is the primary union contract that spells out the terms and conditions of employment for every person who works a URA-AFT job. The current CBA completely replaces the “predecessor” CBA. Sometimes the CBA is also referred to as a collective negotiations agreement (CNA).
- Predecessor agreement — an earlier version of the CBA that is now archived/expired.
- Successor agreement — the CBA that comes after an earlier version. It completely replaces the predecessor agreement once ratified by the union membership (the expired predecessor agreement remains in effect until then).
- A side letter agreement is usually associated with the CBA and provides clarification and/or modification of the existing CBA language.
- A settlement agreement typically comes from a dispute over the CBA. For example, the union may interpret the CBA language differently than the University or file a grievance over the University’s failure to follow the CBA.
- A memorandum of agreement (MOA) or memorandum of understanding (MOU) is used to settle a new dispute or potential dispute not usually covered by the CBA. For example, the union may negotiate over a new policy being considered by the University. It also refers to any other agreement reached between the employer and the union.
