The agreement of the union representative is effective as a collective agreement regardless of the rejection by the general meeting.

• According to the amendments of the Labor Relations Act of March 1997, grounds of criticism concerning the right of the labor representative to conclude agreements were nullified through Art. 29 of the Trade Union and Labor Relations Adjustment Act, stipulating that ‘the representative of a trade union shall have the authority to bargain and make a collective agreement with the employer or employers? association for the trade union and its members.’
• Accordingly, if the trade union demands a rebargaining due to the rejection by the general meeting, the employer can refuse the demand without corresponding to a “denial of bargaining.”
