The registration of Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) is closely monitored as an indicator of harmonious labor-management relations and industrial peace in the country. A collective bargaining is a process where both parties, labor and management, agrees to fix and administer terms and conditions of employment which must not be below the minimum standards fixed by law. This also sets a mechanism for resolving the parties’ grievances.
