  3. Historical background Predecessor: The Administrative Committee Creation: Recognition and Procedural Agreement, April 2000 “Whereas it is the intention of the Office and the Union to work in a spirit of partnership, in good faith and mutual respect;” The Joint Negotiating Committee (JNC) was set up in 2000 after the Recognition and Procedural Agreement was signed by the Office and the Staff Union. The JNC is an organ for collective bargaining within the Office to discuss and agree on major issues related to terms and conditions of employment.

  4. «Collective bargaining within the Office is defined as negotiations in good faith with the objective of reaching collective agreement between the Parties on: (a) so far as the Office has the authority to do so, policies, procedures and practices to give effect, in the Office, to common system terms and conditions of employment; (b) common system terms and conditions of employment that the Parties agree they will jointly endeavour to change through the established mechanisms; (c) policies, procedures and practices on terms and conditions of employment in the Office which are not covered by the common system; (d) issues affecting a group of staff members arising from day-to-day management and administration in the Office, without prejudice to arrangements governing individual grievances.” What is collective bargaining in the ILO ?
