DOUBLE‐BREASTING AND BARGAINING UNIT INTEGRITY Clause Samples

The "Double-Breasting and Bargaining Unit Integrity" clause is designed to prevent an employer from undermining the bargaining power of a union by operating multiple businesses, some unionized and some non-unionized, within the same industry or work area. In practice, this clause typically prohibits the employer from shifting work from the unionized entity to a non-union affiliate or subsidiary, or from creating new entities to avoid union obligations. By doing so, it ensures that the bargaining unit remains intact and that union members are protected from having their negotiated rights and benefits eroded through corporate restructuring or the use of parallel companies.
