Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Collective bargaining refers specifically to the negotiations between a labour union and an employer to arrive at a collective agreement. Contract bargaining, contract ratification, and contract administration are all parts of the larger process of collective bargaining, but they do not refer specifically to the negotiation phase. Union organizing refers to the process of workers coming together to form a union in the first place, which is a different stage in the labour relations process.
