Guide / CBA database
Link magnet · CBA database · sample union contract
A CBA database exists. It is scattered. Here is the map.
People searching "CBA database" or "collective bargaining agreement example" want a file they can read. The honest answer: public repositories exist, they are incomplete, and the controlling agreement is always the one your local enforces. We point you at the public ones, then offer to operationalize yours.
The controlling book is always the one your local enforces. Public files are incomplete, lagged, and sometimes the wrong version. Filter the source map, then go read the file on the host that actually has it.
| Source | What you get | Gap |
|---|---|---|
| U.S. DOL / OLMS CBA file | Many private-sector agreements covering larger units; searchable by employer and union | Not every local, not always current, scans vary |
| FMCS bargaining notices | Who is in talks, not the full text | Notice file, not a contract database |
| Canada Negotech | Full-text federal and provincial collective agreements | Best public corpus in North America; still not every private deal. See Canada. |
| State public-sector postings | Teacher, city, hospital, public-safety, education contracts | Scattered; no single search box |
| Provincial public-sector postings | Health, education, and Crown agreements | Beside Negotech; bilingual in Québec (convention collective) |
| UK / Ireland public employers | Many NHS, council, and civil-service agreements posted as PDFs | No national OLMS equivalent. UK · Ireland |
| Fair Work Commission (Australia) | Approved enterprise agreements | Awards sit beside EBAs; NZ CEAs are separate |
| University labor archives (e.g. Cornell ILR) | Historical and teaching collections | Not an operations system |
| Your local | The actual agreement plus side letters | You have to ask. You are entitled to see it. Then submit it. |
