No, management always makes the ultimate decision. However, it is this Senator's position that when we are talking about teamwork, in these kinds of structures, there ought to be a level playing field so that the employees can pick their own representatives where there is not the heavy hand and the ever present authority of management there guiding, directing, and selecting, and then have that discussion proceed, have the committees, management, labor committees jointly reach their agreements, and then, yes, management can sign off on it.
