§797g New Collective-bargaining Agreements

Summary

Within 60 days after a conveyance becomes effective, worker representatives for each job group and the Corporation must start negotiating one new collective bargaining agreement for each class or craft. Each agreement must cover pay, rules, and working conditions for employees of the Corporation, and negotiations must be done systemwide. The agreements cannot include job‑stabilization terms that go beyond or conflict with what this law allows before April 1, 1984. If the parties agreed on a procedure for finishing the first single agreement before August 13, 1981, that procedure must be finished within 45 days after August 13, 1981, and it will meet the requirements of sections 157 and 158, with the National Mediation Board making any needed appointments. Parties do not have to make a new single agreement if their agreement in effect just before August 13, 1981, already met section 774(d) as it was then. Employees may not give notices under section 156 to start talks about job stabilization or other protective agreements until after April 1, 1984.
