Collectively Bargained Agreements

Collectively Bargained Agreements (CBAs), also known as collective bargaining agreements, are formal contracts between employers and employee representatives (like unions). They set the terms for working conditions, wages, benefits, hours, and other workplace rules. These agreements are negotiated collectively, meaning both parties work together to reach an understanding that benefits everyone involved. Once signed, the CBA is legally binding, ensuring consistency and fairness in employment practices, and providing a clear framework for resolving disputes or issues that might arise during the employment relationship.
