labor contract
Binding work arrangement
A labor contract is a formal agreement between an employer and workers—either individual employees or a union representing them.
It specifies wages, hours, benefits, working conditions, and terms of employment.
The new labor contract guaranteed annual raises and improved health coverage.
Union labor contracts typically result from collective bargaining negotiations.
