Collective bargaining is the process of workers negotiating working conditions such as salaries, benefits, working hours, etc. with their employers through negotiations and unionization.
Committee on Freedom of Association considers the right to strike should not be limited solely to industrial disputes. Collective actions that are contrary to the principles of freedom of association should not be banned. Still, there is a need for governments, brands, and suppliers to take action to ensure the right to freedom of association is protected across supply chains. With strong freedom of association, collective bargaining practices can ensure fair and equitable negotiations. Though collective bargaining, workers will receive higher wages, better benefits, and a safer working environment.
