176.2. A comprehensive agreement on the description of the bargaining units may be made by the municipality resulting from the amalgamation, the associations certified in respect of the employees of the municipalities that ceased to exist on the amalgamation and, where applicable, any association of employees having presented, within the time applicable under any of paragraphs c to e of section 22 of the Labour Code (chapter C‐27) and in respect of a group of employees of a municipality that ceased to exist on the amalgamation, an application for certification that is pending on the date of the coming into force of the order relating to the amalgamation. No such agreement shall operate to include firefighters in a bargaining unit that is not composed exclusively of firefighters.
The expression “comprehensive agreement” means, as the case may be, the comprehensive agreement on the description of the bargaining unit for police officers or for firefighters, or the comprehensive agreement on the description of the bargaining units for all the other groups of employees.
