conventions collectives

Conventions collectives, or collective agreements, are formal contracts negotiated between employers and employee representatives (like unions). They establish working conditions, wages, benefits, working hours, and job protections for a group of employees. These agreements aim to ensure fair treatment and clear standards across a workplace or industry, providing certainty for both workers and employers. Once signed, they are legally binding, guiding how employment relations are managed and resolving disputes under agreed-upon terms.
