Collective bargaining is the process where a trade union negotiates terms of employment for its members with the employer. It covers things like pay, working hours, conditions, and benefits, with the aim of reaching a collective agreement that applies to all workers in the bargaining unit. The union speaks for the group, giving workers more bargaining power than negotiating individually. Industrial action is a potential tactic if negotiations stall, but it isn’t the process itself. Induction training is unrelated to negotiations, as it’s about onboarding new staff.
