Collective agreements will not be updated until they formally enter into force, after both parties have „signed“ the document in question. 33.08 A worker may not be entitled to leave or leave during a month or fiscal year for which the worker is granted leave under another collective agreement in which the employer is associated or under other rules or regulations of the employer. Adjudication/Arbitration is a hearing before an impartial third party, who hears the case and then writes a final and binding decision. Whether it is through a decision at the level of the appeal procedure or by a decision of an adjudicator/arbitrator, the result of a claim is that your interpretation of the collective agreement, as applied in certain circumstances, is either confirmed or denied. If the same circumstances were to occur at a later date, the definition of your rights will be based on the collective agreement on the decision on the previous claim. However, the interpretation of the collective agreement may be erroneous if applied to a set of circumstances, but it may be valid if applied to a totally different set of circumstances. REMEMBER – The history of work shows us that workers` rights are slow to be recognized, but they are quickly lost, if not well guarded! While you exercise your rights, also test your interpretation of the collective agreement. In most cases, the employer will agree with your interpretation of the contract and will take all necessary measures. Sometimes the employer may challenge your interpretation. The next step towards reaching an agreement in your collective agreement is to review it as a clause and understand the rights and duties of each of the parties (employers, workers and unions). If you read each clause, ask yourself the following questions: The rights may be beautiful on paper, but they are really of low value, unless we use them. Indeed, if we do not exercise our rights, it may be justified to say that certain clauses of the collective agreement are not necessary and should be abolished, because workers do not use these rights anyway!

The committee will respect the provisions of the federal government`s treaty.

Therefore, a good rule of thumb to follow is always try to improve your rights – never sell them short! In certain circumstances, ensure the most favourable interpretation that the collective agreement may provide.
