Pathfinder - Collective Bargaining

Scope Note:

Collective Bargaining "is considered one of the most fundamental and important elements in good labor-management relations. The term refers not only to the negotiations which must take place between labor and management before an agreement can be reached on wages, hours of work, and other matters relating to employment, but it also covers the administration and interpretation of the contract once it has been signed". (The labor reference book. HD 8066 P37 1972, Reference Section, 2nd floor)

The collective aspect of collective bargaining is the exclusive representation by the union of the collection of people in a bargaining unit. Bargaining represents the negotiation of labor agreements and their administration during the period in which they are in effect. (Labor relations : development, structure, process.
