Public Sector Collective Bargaining

Public sector collective bargaining is the process where government employers and employees' unions negotiate wages, benefits, and working conditions. It aims to reach agreements that balance public interests with fair treatment of workers. This process helps ensure transparency, stability, and mutual respect between the government and its employees, facilitating effective public service delivery. Both parties discuss issues openly, and if they reach an agreement, it becomes a formal contract that guides employment terms. It is a common practice in many countries to promote fair labor relations in government workplaces.
