THERE IS NO DUTY TO BARGAIN

Except in limited circumstances, bargaining will no longer be compelled by law as in the past where failure or refusal to
negotiate was considered unfair labour practice.

enforcing/compelling parties to bargain. Instead the Act has opted for the situation where parties conclude the details of
their own agreements through: (I) the exercise of power supported by protection for strikes.
(II) Advisory arbitration
(III) Set of organizational rights
