Accommodative Provisions Are Those Which,without in Any Way Suggesting a Fundamental

Accommodative provisions are those which,without in any way suggesting a fundamental shift in the balance of workplace power,seek to promote better union- management relations,normally by moving beyond extremely detailed delineation of union and management "territory." An example is the Bell Canada health and safety provision which states that "Both parties...recognize the need to ensure the safety and protect the health of all employees." Such provisions are most often characteristic of mature and stable bargaining relationships and are typically found in industries like telecommunications)which are at least stable,if not growing.
