Negotiation between employers and trade unions over pay and working conditions.
Collective bargaining is the process by which trade unions or employee representatives negotiate with employers on behalf of a group of workers to agree on terms and conditions of employment — including pay, working hours, holidays, health and safety, and disciplinary procedures. Collective agreements reached through bargaining are legally binding in many countries. HR professionals play a key role in managing employer-side collective bargaining strategy and maintaining productive union relationships.
