Collective bargaining (i.e. a union agreement) refers to a process by which negotiation employees negotiate with employers. It is aimed at regulating salaries. As a general rule, the workers are presented by representatives their trade unions. A collective bargaining agreement is a written contact for a specified time period (typically 1 year), between the management and its employees who are represented by a trade union. It lays addresses and defines wages, working hours, PTO, and other working conditions/benefits. It also puts forth the process for dispute resolution.
