The bill before the House provides a carefully worked through framework for how the FPA system will function. Some of the key design details include provisions for the initiation and bargaining of fair pay agreements. There will be two pathways for a union to initiate bargaining for an FPA: a representation test based on employee numbers, or a public interest test. Employees will be represented by unions and employers will largely be represented by employer associations. The process will be guided by the good-faith obligations that are well-known and established in the existing Employment Relations Act (ERA).
