Sorry, was traveling yesterday.

This bill will ensure that labor contracts are maintained and that new unions can submit a first contract to binding arbitration. IRL they're not granted that ability, which leads to a lot of companies trying to avoid bargaining by continually rejecting that first contract in an attempt to break the union.

A first contract would be submitted to binding arbitration so that the workers are guaranteed a collective bargaining agreement.

A first contract would be submitted to binding arbitration so that the workers are guaranteed a collective bargaining agreement.

So, it's just so that a union can be established?  Or are specific demands placed on the employer that they are forced to accept? 
From the wording, it looks like this is for any time a new member joins the union - is that right?

No. It refers to the first collective bargaining agreement established between a new union and an employer. I'm going to offer an amendment to clarify the language. It's so that a union is guaranteed a collective bargaining agreement after a union is already formed.

Does that make it any clearer? My apologies, it's kind of hard to put this into text form Tongue

Yes, that does help clear it up.
Could it happen that two companies or departments merging had conflicting labor agreements?

It's quite possible that this could be the case. If one company perhaps negotiates a 3.1% cost of living adjustment per year, and another 3.2%, that is technically "conflicting".

So is anyone else going to be voting on this, or has this become the All Labor Party Congress? Tongue
