Joint Bargaining Sample Clauses
The Joint Bargaining clause establishes a process where two or more parties agree to negotiate collectively on certain terms or issues, rather than individually. In practice, this means that representatives from each party come together to discuss and reach agreements on matters such as wages, working conditions, or contract terms, ensuring that all parties have a unified voice in the negotiation process. The core function of this clause is to streamline negotiations, promote fairness, and prevent conflicting agreements by requiring collective decision-making.
