Differences Over Bargaining Format Sample Clauses

Differences Over Bargaining Format. The desire of Northwood and MacMillan Xxxxxxx to negotiate separately with the Locals which represent their respective employees reflects the position now being taken generally by employers in the Province's pulp and paper industry. The employers see a need to engage in "enterprise" bargaining, and no longer believe that industry-wide negotiations are compatible with their interests. Consistent with this, the objects and purposes of the Bureau -- as well as its name -- were changed in 1993. The Bureau is now known as the Pulp and Paper Employee Relations Forum. The primary purpose of the former Bureau has been deleted from the amended Constitution; namely, on behalf of its members "to bargain collectively and enter into collective agreements...with trade unions or other bargaining agents or representatives of employees of its members". For their part, the CEP and the PPWC view the continuation of industry-wide bargaining to be in their best interests. Xxxxx Xxxxx testified that industry bargaining "is the number one issue...[it is] an absolute priority with all our locals to maintain the industry structure". He stated the CEP is prepared to take a strike over the issue. The Unions have negotiated what he believes to be the best wages and benefits in North America for their industry. Individual bargaining, as sought by the employers, is seen as a threat to the JLA, the pension plan "and everything we have fought for". The lines are thus drawn, in terms of the positions of the employers and the Unions over the format for the current round of collective bargaining.
