Collective agreements are agreements that cover two or more employees who are union members.
Only registered unions and employers can bargain for collective agreements. If you are involved in bargaining for a collective agreement, you will need to check that you follow the correct procedures . The Employment Relations Act 2000 requires employers and unions to bargain in good faith over collective agreements. This includes requirements to meet, and to consider and respond to each other's proposals. It does NOT mean that they have to reach agreement.
