The duty to bargain in good faith includes an employer's obligation to supply the union with information relevant to the collective bargaining process. The general rule is that when a union representative requests information, an employer must supply information that is needed to bargain intelligently and to administer a contract. The following conditions must be met before an employer is required to provide the information:
- The union must request the information
- The information requested must e relevant to the bargaining process
- The information requested cannot be "unduly burdensome" to furnish (Bryant, 2012).
