Collective Agreement 3
Collective Agreement 3 : This is an agreement arising from the collective bargaining process, which clearly defines the procedural and substantive dimensions to the workplace industrial relations. With respect to the procedural dimensions, it will indicate those procedures for the regulation of relationships between the parties and the treatment of individual workers. Procedural dimensions would include matters such as discipline, grievance handling, appointment of shop stewards, and re-negotiation of the agreement. The substantive dimensions of the agreement would relate to terms and conditions such as wages, hours of work, overtime, and paid holidays and special leave. In some countries, collective agreements are strict legal documents, fully enforceable by the courts. In other countries, though 'binding', they are not legal documents and are therefore not enforceable by the courts. In this case, they are said to be 'binding in honour' or to be 'gentlemen's agreements'. A collective agreement may be written and formal or unwritten and informal. Industrial relations 'best practices' however, dictate that the collective agreement should be written and formal
