Collective Bargaining Agreements
ABOMA Collective Bargaining Agreements
ABOMA negotiates and administers
collective bargaining agreements (CBA) on behalf of
ABOMA Members. The Unions we negotiate with are Service
Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 1 and the
Teamsters Union Local 727.
With SEIU Local
1 individual CBA’s negotiated and administered cover
High-Rise Building Janitorial Employees employed by the
individual building member (the employer), Walk Up
Building Janitorial Employees employed by the individual
building member (the employer) and Door Staff Employees
employed by the individual building member (the
employer). In total ABOMA has 3 separated CBA’s with
SEIU Local 1.
With Teamsters
Local 727 ABOMA negotiates and administers 1 CBA
covering Garage Employees employed by the individual
building member (the employer) in High-Rise Buildings.
ABOMA Member Buildings are not
automatically included in the negotiations or the
completed CBA. In order to be included each member
building must complete and file with ABOMA a labor
authorization form. These forms are issued by ABOMA
before commence of the negotiations. In the case of new
members they are issued upon ABOMA approval of the
Membership application.
It is important
to note that non-member buildings and those Members who
do not complete and file the ABOMA Labor Authorization
Form will not be covered by the ABOMA CBA and will have
to negotiate alone and by themselves with the Union. All
ABOMA CBA’s include a “favored employer” clause which
precludes non ABOMA Members from receiving better
economic terms with out the Union extending the terms to
all ABOMA Members coved by the CBA.
The ABOMA Negotiations Committee is
appointed by the ABOMA Board of Directors and serve
without compensation.
ABOMA encourages and welcomes suggestions from Members on items they wish to have the Negotiations Committee consider. Members can advise the Committee as to their suggestions by email to: aboma1@aol.com or christywiggs@aboma.com
