Appointment
YUFA's collective bargaining process, including the appointment of the Bargaining Team, is governed by Bylaw 2 of the YUFA Bylaws.
In particular, Bylaw 2.1 states: "Up to eight months prior to the expiry of the collective agreement, the Executive Committee shall appoint five or six members of the bargaining unit to the collective bargaining team. Appointments must be made by a vote of two-thirds of Executive members present and voting. No more than two members of the collective bargaining team shall be members of Executive Committee."
