141: Collective agreements

You could also call this:

"Agreements between the government and employee unions about work conditions"

The Chief Parliamentary Counsel has to negotiate collective agreements with a union that employees are part of, under the Employment Relations Act 2000. You do this with a union that has employees as members. The Chief Parliamentary Counsel also has to consult with the Public Service Commissioner when negotiating these agreements. When we talk about a union in this section, it means what is defined in section 5 of the Employment Relations Act 2000. The Chief Parliamentary Counsel must follow these rules when negotiating collective agreements.
