Section 213 of the Labour Relations Act defines a collective
agreement as:
"A written agreement concerning terms and conditions of
employment or any other matter of mutual interest concluded by one
or more registered trade unions, on the one hand, and, on the
other, had a) one or more employers; b) one or more registered
employers' organisations; or c) one or more employers and one
or more registered employers' organisations "council"
includes a bargaining council and a statutory council."
The issue of complying with collective agreements has put an
administrative and economic strain on employers. Employers are
finding it challenging to keep up to date with amendments to the
collective agreement and the increases in contributions that must
be made by them.
