Question

Unionized workers are typically covered by a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) that outlines the grievance-arbitration process. This means that they cannot pursue employment-at-will actions as at-will employees because their rights and protections are governed by the CBA. The grievance process allows for disputes to be resolved through negotiations between the union and employer and, if necessary, through an arbitration process.
