The prospect of entering into collective bargaining can be daunting. Collective Bargaining removes the uncertainty and gives employers, union delegates, human resource practitioners, and lawyers a clear guide to the procedure that should be followed throughout the bargaining process. Collective Bargaining discusses the form and content of collective agreements and the rules governing the application and expiry. The relevant sections of the Employment Relations Act 2000 are reproduced, and reference is made to relevant case law. Negotiating strategies are discussed, and some practical examples of real-life situations are given, to show how unions and employers have resolved difficult issues.
