Document Summary
Effective with certification, the union is the exclusive representative of employees in the bargaining unit. The employer is legally obligated to recognize the union and bargain exclusively with the union. The onus is on the union to give the employer notice to bargain within 60 days of certification, or at least 90 days prior the termination of a collective agreement. Failure to do so may result in decertification of the union as the bargaining agent for the employees. Procedure: traditionally, the union submits its demands, with a rationale for each; If the employer is looking for rollbacks, it will table its position with a rationale: proposals may be segregated into discrete parts (e. g. , monetary vs. non-monetary) and addressed separately. A proposed collective agreement that is entered into . has no effect until it is ratified as described in subsection (3). [s. 44. (1)]
