collective bargaining rights
Workers negotiate together
Collective bargaining rights are the legal protections allowing workers to negotiate with employers as a group, typically through a union, over wages, benefits, and working conditions.
These rights include forming unions, selecting representatives, and striking.
Teachers fought to preserve their collective bargaining rights.
The scope varies by jurisdiction—some laws exclude public employees or limit what can be negotiated.
