Unions & Representation

ᛗ ᚱ ᛉ

Representation & Workplace Rights

Representation rules can depend on whether a workplace is unionized, the applicable collective-bargaining agreement, and federal or state law.

CBA

Collective Bargaining Agreement

A CBA may establish wages, classifications, overtime, seniority, grievance procedures and other employment terms.

⚖

Grievance Procedure

Unionized employees may have contractual processes for disputes in addition to rights supplied by law.

Know Which Rule Applies

Contract rights, federal labor law, wage law and state law can overlap without being the same thing.
