A union contract is a collective bargaining agreement
People say "union contract." Lawyers say "collective bargaining agreement." Stewards say "the book." Same object: the written deal between the union and the employer that sets wages, hours, benefits, and how fights get decided.
This page exists so the synonym does not leak to a generic legal dictionary. The definitive treatment is the CBA guide. Use this as the short version, then go deeper.
What a union contract contains
Recognition, union security, management rights, wages, hours, seniority, grievance and arbitration, health and pension, no-strike, duration. Sample language lives in the clause library. Public copies live on the examples page.
Union contract vs employment contract
Individual contracts are one person, often at-will. A union contract is collective, usually just-cause, and enforced by a private arbitration system. Full comparison: CBA vs employment contract.
