Negotiating Committee - (Negotiating Team + Contract Cttee)

The Negotiating Committee acts as the appropriate body for negotiations on behalf of all WUFA members.  They are responsible for negotiating strategies and reporting to Executive, Council and the Membership. 

The Negotiation Committee is constituted by two subcommittees: The Contract Committee and the Negotiation Team.  Members remain on the Committee until the next round of negotiations, or unless they leave the bargaining unit.
