"16 tentative collective bargaining agreements reached in recent weeks with various unions"

Collective bargaining agreements are written contracts negotiated between a group of employees, usually represented by a union, and their employer that set pay, hours, benefits and workplace rules. For investors, these agreements matter because they lock in labor costs, affect operational flexibility and can influence profit margins and the risk of strikes—think of them as a multi-year operating manual that shapes a company’s expenses and stability.
