What is Collective Bargaining?

Answer

Collective bargaining is bargaining done as a collective rather than individually. Before unions, employees had to bargain individually for higher wages, better working conditions, etc. By forming unions, workers were able to bargain collectively, meaning as a collective (or group). This gave unions much more power than each individual member would have alone. Collective bargaining is therefore the work of a union or group to negotiate.

Collective bargaining is a type of negotiation used by employees to work with their employers. During a collective bargaining period, workers' representatives approach the employer and attempt to negotiate a contract which both sides can agree with.
Once both sides have reached a contract that they find agreeable, it is signed and kept in place for a set period of time. The final contract is called a collective bargaining agreement.
