union contracts
Collective bargaining documents
Union contracts are formal agreements between labor unions and employers that set wages, benefits, working conditions, and dispute resolution procedures.
Also called collective bargaining agreements, they typically cover all workers in a bargaining unit regardless of individual union membership.
The union contract guaranteed annual raises and prohibited arbitrary dismissal.
Contract negotiations can be contentious, sometimes leading to strikes when talks break down.
