union negotiation
Collective bargaining session
Union negotiation is the formal process by which a labor union and an employer discuss and bargain over wages, benefits, working conditions, and other terms of employment.
The goal is typically a collective bargaining agreement that binds both parties: Union negotiations stalled over healthcare costs.
The process may involve proposals, counteroffers, mediation, and sometimes the threat of strikes or lockouts.
