Section 163.2 and 163.3 of the Labour Relations Act, 1995 sets out the steps for local modification of the ICI collective agreement where the collective agreement renders the employers bound by it at a competitive disadvantage. Modification may take place either through negotiation or through arbitration. Two types of organizations may initiate an application to modify the ICI collective agreement, an employer bargaining agency and a "designated regional employers' organization" (DREO). A group of employees may apply to the Minister of Labour to be designated as a DREO.
