Good faith bargaining

Good faith bargaining is a legal and ethical obligation that parties, such as employers and employees or their representatives, genuinely engage in negotiations with the intention of reaching a fair agreement. It requires both sides to be honest, open about their positions, and willing to discuss terms openly, rather than negotiating in bad faith through tactics like delaying, stonewalling, or intentionally presenting unreasonable demands. This principle promotes constructive dialogue and fair labor practices, ensuring negotiations are meaningful and respectful, ultimately fostering a healthy relationship and equitable resolutions.
