Workers have the right to join together to improve their pay, benefits, working conditions, and other workplace issues. Many workers do this by forming or joining a union.
A union represents employees when they negotiate with their employer. This process is called collective bargaining. The result is a collective bargaining agreement (CBA), a written contract that explains agreed-upon wages, benefits, work rules, and other terms of employment.
This page provides links to resources on how unions and collective bargaining work, workers' and employers' rights and responsibilities under the law, and links to resources that can help you learn more or answer common questions.
