U-0.1 - Act respecting bargaining units in the social affairs sector

Full text
89. Except where the certification of an association of employees is revoked under section 83, and despite section 9, the collective agreement of each certified association of employees referred to in paragraph 1 of section 73, in force on the day before the date on which the new association of employees is certified, and the local arrangements that relate to it continue to apply for employees covered by each of those collective agreements. The integrating institution or the new institution resulting from the amalgamation and the newly certified association of employees may, however, agree to apply the collective agreement of the newly certified association of employees and the local arrangements relating to it to all the employees included in the new bargaining unit.
From the date on which the new association of employees is certified, the collective agreement of the newly certified association of employees and the local arrangements that relate to it apply to the employees who were not represented by a certified association of employees on the day before the date of integration or amalgamation.
As of the date of coming into force of an agreement on a matter negotiated and agreed at the local or regional level, the clauses negotiated and agreed at the national level and the local arrangements regarding that matter cease to apply. The institution and the newly certified association of employees may agree to bring the clauses negotiated and agreed at the local or regional level into force on different dates.
The new clauses negotiated and agreed at the national level after the date on which the new association of employees is certified take effect on the date set out in those clauses. The local arrangements relating to the clauses of the previous collective agreement, which are replaced by the new clauses, cease to apply on that date.
