Collective bargaining refers to the process of negotiating a collective agreement. Mandatory procedures and provisions for collective bargaining are set out in the Labour Relations Code. The actual dynamics, strategies and challenges in a collective bargaining process will, of course, depend largely on the specific circumstances of the parties and the workplace. Some further information can be find in the Code Guide published by the Labour Relations Board.
For the uninitiated, the collective bargaining process can be a daunting task. If you are facing the prospect of negotiating a collective agreement for your workforce, you may wish to seek expert labour-relations advice and assistance.
