Collective bargaining is a tool used to determine work place conditions.
Collective bargaining is the bilateral determination of work terms and conditions between employee representatives and the employer. The resulting contract is administered through negotiations, the grievance procedure, and other avenues decided upon by the bilateral representatives. Negotiations are the presenting of proposals by the employees and the employers to each other that will result in a work agreement. Grievance is the means to state to one party that the other party has not upheld the contract. This is the name of the activity to enforce the contract.
