Document Summary
Introduction: the collective agreement substitutes for the individual employer-employee contract, an individual employee can assert his or her rights only through the collective agreement. If the matter cannot be settled than a third party will come in to solve it: term, the term of a collective agreement must be at least one year. It is usually three years: recognition of the union, this is their rights & has to be done without inference but in doing so they have to follow the rights under the collective agreement. Union business: the employees must be granted time off to attend to union affairs. Workload & work procedures: these vary in detail & scope depending on the workplace. Compensation: this is detailed by job classification. It may include a cost-of-living adjustment (cola) for multi-year collective agreements: this aspect doesn"t happen often. Standards act: the agreement must include a provision.
