Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)

A Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) is a formal contract between an employer and a union representing employees. It outlines the terms of employment, such as wages, working conditions, benefits, and dispute resolution procedures. The CBA is negotiated through a process called collective bargaining, where both sides discuss and agree on issues impacting workers. This agreement helps ensure that employees have a voice in their workplace and provides clarity on rights and responsibilities, contributing to a fair and organized work environment.
