Collective Agreements

Collective agreements are contracts negotiated between employers and a group of employees, often represented by a union. These agreements outline the terms of employment, including wages, working hours, benefits, and job conditions. They aim to protect workers' rights and ensure fair treatment in the workplace. By negotiating collectively, employees can leverage their collective strength to achieve better terms than they might as individuals. Once agreed upon, these terms are legally binding and provide a framework for both parties to resolve disputes and maintain a harmonious working relationship.
