Collective Bargaining Law

Collective bargaining law refers to the legal framework that governs negotiations between employers and trade unions representing workers. This process allows union members to discuss and agree on terms of employment, such as wages, benefits, and working conditions. Laws ensure that both parties engage in good faith negotiations and protect workers' rights to organize and voice their concerns. If an agreement is reached, it results in a collective bargaining agreement (CBA), which is a binding contract for both the employer and the employees represented by the union.
