Document Summary

Collective agreements are enforceable contracts between the employer and the union. Once a collective agreement is negotiated, disputes will be resolved though a grievance process between the union and the employer. While the rights in the agreement are of the workers, it is the union that is responsible for defending those rights and for administrating the collective agreement for the workers. Workers do not have individual rights to enforce the agreement when an alleged breach affects them. Workers have the right to grieve but it is up to the union to decide whether to proceed to arbitration. Staffing: use of part ti(cid:373)e a(cid:374)d full ti(cid:373)e (cid:449)orkers.
