TERRITORY - UNION RECOGNITION Clause Samples

The "Territory - Union Recognition" clause defines the specific geographic area in which a union is officially recognized as the representative body for employees.

By clearly establishing the territory, this clause prevents disputes over union jurisdiction and ensures that collective bargaining rights are applied consistently within the agreed area.

The recognition of this historical precedent is hereby re-affirmed. 3.14 The Employer agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions in any of the other three pipeline crafts’ agreements, appendices or understandings, the assignment of any work shall be made in accordance with local area practice and Provincial Labour Board decisions.
