What does good faith mean in employment?

Question

Accepted Answer

The principle of good faith is central to the Employment Relations Act. ‘Good faith’ requires employers, employees and unions to deal with each other openly, honestly and constructively.
The duty of good faith applies when unions and employers are negotiating collective agreements and when existing employees are negotiating new individual agreements. The duty also applies to the ongoing relationship between employers, employees and their unions after an agreement is made.
