Schedule 3 – Transitional, Supplementary and Saving Provisions Paragraph 7 and 8 – Collective agreements and Trade union recognition
101.Paragraph 7 provides for collective agreements, made between a recognised trade union and the AGW in relation to any employee whose employment transfers from the AGW, to transfer to the WAO. Paragraph 8 provides for the WAO to continue recognising any independent trade union recognised by the AGW before the transfer. The paragraphs ensure that collective agreements and trades union recognition continue to exist as if having been made and recognised by the WAO.
