If the employer relied on the union's chief negotiator's representation that he was authorized to enter into the collective bargaining agreement, the agreement may not later be repudiated by the chief negotiator on the claim that the agreement was contingent on the approval of the union's full bargaining team and the chief negotiator had a duty to advise the employer if he did not have the authority to reach a final agreement or that a final agreement was contingent on the approval of the union's full negotiating committee.
