49 1. Any contracting party to a collective agreement may, within four months immediately preceding the expiry of the term of the collective agreement or within the longer period that may be provided for in the collective agreement, require the other party to enter into collective bargaining in order to renew or amend the collective agreement or to enter into a new collective agreement. Side Note: Note on negotiations for the renewal or revision of a collective agreement or the conclusion of a new collective agreement (2) An employer who succeeds a previous contractor as a service provider under a contract or other agreement shall pay compensation at least equal to the compensation paid to employees who provide the services under this contract or agreement; to which employees of the previous contractor who provided the same or substantially similar services were entitled. in accordance with the provisions of a collective agreement to which this Part applies. 2. Where a collective agreement provides that a provision of the collective agreement may be amended during the term of the collective agreement, a party entitled to do so under the collective agreement may request, by notification, that the other party enter into collective bargaining in order to revise the provision. As long as a collective agreement is in force, it can only be amended by mutual voluntary agreement. A change in the duration of the agreement must be approved by the Labour Council. Before negotiations on a collective agreement begin, the union must receive a certificate from the employment office. Shortly after receiving the certificate, the union begins collective bargaining (or negotiation) with the employer. The objective of the negotiations is to reach agreement on the many issues that can be included in the agreement. The sector also manages the collective bargaining mandate process, develops bargaining strategies, and provides interpretations and advice on collective bargaining and collective agreements to the human resources departments of departments and agencies in the core public administration.

(ii) no later than the last day on which the parties could have been dismissed in order to enter into collective bargaining for the purpose of concluding the collective agreement in accordance with Article 49(1), if the notice had been given in accordance with this Subsection; Collective agreements are usually valid for a period of two years, sometimes three years and sometimes for one. Before the agreement expires, the union and the employer begin negotiations on an extension agreement. 48 Where the board has certified a negotiator for a collective bargaining unit and no collective agreement binding the employees of the collective bargaining unit is in force, the negotiator may, by notification, apply to the employer of those workers or the collective bargaining operator to enter into a collective agreement. Typically, the negotiation of the first collective agreement takes up to six months.
It will also take a few months to negotiate renewal agreements, but while they are being negotiated, the old agreement remains in force. Once a provisional agreement has been reached between the employer and the union representatives, each union member has the opportunity to vote to accept or reject the union. If at least 50% of the union members who actually vote accept the agreement, it becomes legally binding. If union members do not agree to the agreement, the employer and union representatives can continue negotiations. Alternatively, the union may call for a strike vote. A strike vote must also receive at least 50% support from voters. Very rarely, if a union cannot obtain ratification or authorization to strike, it renounces its right to represent workers. Procedures for respecting workers` rights are also provided for in collective agreements. It is the responsibility of the union to uphold workers` rights by filing a complaint and, if necessary, arbitrating the case.
As a general rule, workers must request union representation to exercise their rights if a complaint is rejected by their immediate supervisor. The exact process for filing a complaint and even opening arbitration varies depending on the collective agreement. For more information about claims and arbitration, see Complaints and Arbitration. More information on collective agreements can be found on the Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development website.

Employers can also «lock in» employees to put pressure on the union, but lockouts are indeed rare.
(a) The negotiator and the employer may be the subject of negotiations without delay and, in any event, within twenty days of dismissal, unless the parties agree otherwise, and may be governed by the collective agreement.

Collective agreements provide certain terms and conditions of employment for a group of workers called a «collective bargaining unit» and represented by a union. The collective agreement defines the labour rights of workers and the trade union.
Therefore, any union relationship will generally lead to a collective agreement. In the rare event that a collective agreement cannot be negotiated, the union ceases to represent the workers, either because it renounces its rights or because the workers terminate the union`s rights of representation.
