Collective Bargaining (combined - good deal)
Collective bargaining is a technique adopted by theorganisations of workers and employers collectively to resolvetheir differences with or without the assistance of third party.Its ultimate aim to reach some settlement acceptable to both
the parties involved in labour management relation. Collective bargaining includes not only negotiations between theemployers and unions but also includes the process of resolving labor-management conflicts. Thus, collective
bargaining is, essentially, a recognized way of creating a
system of industrial jurisprudence. It acts as a method of introducing civil rights in the industry, that is, the managementshould be conducted by rules. It establishes rules which defineand restrict the authority exercised by the management
