"If enacted into law, the validity of the bargaining representative's term and the collective bargaining agreement itself will be reduced to three years from the current five, giving more flexibility for workers in exercising their right to bargain collectively with their employers," aniya.
Sa ilalim ng panukala, lahat ng probisyon ng CBA ay mananatiling maipapatupad sa panahon ng pagiging epektibo ng kasunduan.
