Negotiating always involves give and take with the employer making concessions and the Union having to compromise on some of its claims. When the negotiators acting on your behalf think they have a draft agreement which can be put to members, this is checked by the Union’s National Executive, and is then voted on by members at a general meeting. Each Branch determines the processes by which reports are given to members and members can direct the bargaining process. If you are not yet a union member you cannot participate in determining what is accepted.
