CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement)

A Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) is a contract negotiated between employers and a group of employees, typically represented by a union. This agreement outlines the terms of employment, including wages, working conditions, benefits, hours, and other workplace rules. The goal of a CBA is to ensure fair treatment and a clear understanding of rights and responsibilities for both employees and employers. It serves as a formal way to address workplace issues and helps maintain a cooperative relationship between the two parties. CBAs are usually renegotiated periodically to adapt to changing circumstances.
