This is essentially what happens now. Because of binding arbitration, the next bargaining unit up basically gets the same that the last one who went through the process did, perhaps with a little extra. The only significant differences are in benefits and non-monetary. The division with the highest pay in Winnipeg is usually the one that went through bargaining last, in the province it is usually Mystery Lake in Thompson (if we're not factoring in living allowances).
It would significantly lower costs throughout the province to do this process all at once, not through 35+ bargaining units, and protect the province from rogue boards.
