Union Contract

A union contract is an agreement negotiated between an employer and worker representatives covering employment terms or procedures for the relevant group. It is often called a collective bargaining agreement.

The agreement sets out pay arrangements, scheduling provisions and a process for resolving disputes about its interpretation.
