Collective Bargaining Agreements

Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) are contracts negotiated between employers and a group of employees, typically represented by a union. These agreements outline the terms of employment, including wages, working conditions, benefits, and dispute resolution methods. The purpose of a CBA is to establish fair work standards and protect the rights of employees while allowing employers to maintain operational flexibility. Through this process, both sides aim to reach a mutually beneficial agreement that fosters a collaborative workplace environment. CBAs are legally binding, meaning both parties must adhere to the agreed-upon terms.
