union-negotiated contracts

Union-negotiated contracts are agreements between a labor union and an employer that detail workers’ rights and conditions, such as pay, benefits, working hours, and safety standards. These contracts ensure fair treatment and collective bargaining power for employees, often resulting in better wages and protections than individual negotiations. The union advocates on behalf of workers to reach mutually agreed terms, providing a structured process to resolve disputes and enforce the contract. Overall, these agreements aim to improve working conditions while balancing the interests of employees and employers.
