	Collective bargaining is a process of negotiation between employers and a group of employees aimed at reaching agreements to regulate working conditions. The interests of the employees are commonly presented by representatives of a trade union to which the employees belong. The collective agreements reached by these negotiations usually set out wage scales, working hours, training, health and safety, overtime, grievance mechanisms, and rights to participate in workplace or company affairs.

	~~== Benefits ==~~		* '''Conjunctive or Distributive Bargaining''': This involves a zero-sum negotiation where one party's gain is the other party's loss.
	~~Collective bargaining can lead~~ to ~~improved~~ working conditions, ~~higher wages, and better benefits for employees.

			* '''Composite Bargaining''': This involves negotiations on a variety of issues, including wages, working conditions, and job security.

	== ~~Challenges~~ ==		==Legal Framework==
	~~Despite its benefits,~~ collective bargaining ~~can also present challenges~~. ~~Negotiations can be lengthy and complex~~, ~~and there is always~~ the ~~potential for conflict or impasse.

The legal framework for collective bargaining varies by country. In the [[United States]], the [[National Labor Relations Act]] governs collective bargaining in the private sector.

	== Also see ==		==Impact==
			Collective bargaining has a significant impact on labor relations and the economy. It can lead to improved working conditions, higher wages, and better job security for employees. However, it can also result in increased labor costs for employers.

			==Challenges==
			Some of the challenges faced in collective bargaining include:

			* '''Power Imbalance''': Employers may have more power than employees, making it difficult to reach fair agreements.
			* '''Economic Conditions''': Economic downturns can limit the ability of employers to meet employee demands.
			* '''Globalization''': The global economy can affect local labor markets and bargaining power.
