Will the SCMMA collective agreement change by joining?

No.

If SCMMA joins the Society, your collective agreement will remain the same until you conclude negotiations and ratify your next agreement.

SCMMA members will always set the bargaining priorities and elected SCMMA members will always negotiate the collective agreement with the support of Society staff like your Labour Relations Staff Officer. As is the case now, only SCMMA members will vote on whether to ratify a renegotiated collective agreement.
