Explain what happens if, during negotiations, an employer and a trade union cannot agree on the terms to be included in a collective agreement?
Answer:
Once notice has been given to commence collective bargaining, whether or not actual bargaining has taken place, either party may ask the Minister to appoint a conciliator or mediation officer to assist in the conclusion of an agreement. The request must be accompanied by a statement of difficulties encountered by the parties in negotiations to date.
