These features are incompatible with free collective bargaining under any definition, and my amendments intend to do the following. It will take me a moment to go through them. Amendment 152 would allow the SSSNB to collectively bargain on any of the matters specified in Section 178 of the 1992 Act. Amendment 173 would allow agreement of the SSSNB to constitute collective agreement within the meaning of that section. Amendments 153, 160, 162, 167 and 170 all provide for inclusion of the self-employed. Amendment 154 would permit the body to negotiate dispute resolution machinery, grievance and disciplinary procedures and anything else that the employers and unions want to negotiate.
