Collective bargaining involves negotiations between employer and employee groups to determine terms of employment such as wages, hours, benefits, and other working conditions. It is called "collective" because the employer and employees act as groups rather than individuals, and "bargaining" because it involves proposals, counterproposals, offers, and negotiations between the two sides to reach an agreement. Common issues addressed through collective bargaining include holidays, vacations, shifts, overtime pay, retirement benefits, job duties, promotions, layoffs, and safety rules. The process aims for both sides to negotiate in good faith and make reasonable efforts to come to an agreement.
