The Employment Relations Act 2000 (ERA) provides for multi party collective agreements (MPCA). The ERA requires Unions to first ballot their members to obtain a mandate to seek a MPCA. Multi party collective agreements can be either multi Union (MUCA) or multi Employer (MECA) documents. The RMTU has policy developed out of our annual delegates conferences that we are to seek multi party collective agreements wherever possible to enhance our industrial strength.

The Union is strongly of the opinion that MPCA's provide workers with the strongest power and influence in their employment bargaining with the employer and additionally the greatest flexibility of movement within the employer parties to a MPCA. Accordingly the Union encourages members to vote in favour of MECA's.

These docs are the union claims and the good faith bargaining code signed off and the joint statements issued following bargaining
