The Collective Agreement is a fundamental document in Indian industrial relations that formalizes the relationship between management and organized labor. It is typically implemented when workers form or join a trade union and seek formal recognition of their rights and working conditions. The agreement must comply with various Indian labor laws including the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, Trade Unions Act, 1926, and other relevant legislation. This document becomes necessary when establishing or revising terms of employment for a group of workers, typically following collective bargaining. It covers crucial aspects such as wages, working hours, benefits, dispute resolution mechanisms, and other employment conditions, serving as a legally binding contract that promotes industrial harmony while ensuring statutory compliance.
