Explain in details collective bargaining and trade union?
Answer:
A Collective agreement is a labor contract between an employer and one or more unions. Collective bargaining consists of the process of negotiation between representatives of a union and employers (represented by management, in some countries by employers' organization) in respect of the terms and conditions of employment of employees, such as wages, hours of work, working conditions and grievance-procedures, and about the rights and responsibilities of trade unions. The parties often refer to the result of the negotiation as a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) or as a Collective Employment Agreement (CEA).
In addition to above, Collective Bargaining also covers how much Contractors contribute to Vacation, Healthcare, and Pension funds on behalf of the Union member. CB also dictates work assignments. For example, Pipefitter and Boilermaker work duties can overlap. The CBA between the company and the two Unions divvy up who gets what. The contract also states how many workers the company expects to need for the job, how many they are allowed to "call by name" per straight dispatch off the list, and how many Apprentices are sent out. Safety standards in addition to OSHA regulations, Jobsite Security (aka lunchbox checks), Subsistence pay, No Strike clause, quality clause, timeliness clause, welder testing, etc. could all be included.
The contract between the Union and company for a one year job can be a binder 3 inches thick or more. Too many things are covered to explain them all.
