Covers nearly the entirety of the relationship between unions/workers and management. Have evolved considerably since wwii, in terms of length, complexity and the number of issues that are covered. In canada and the us, they tend to be even longer and more complex than in much of the western world. Pregnancy/maternity leave (around wwii the workforce was male dominated and as women entered the workforce they needed clauses to allow women to take time off) In place for a fixed duration, so they cannot be amended at any time that one side feels that a change is needed. Generally, 3 years but cbas are becoming longer. A newly certified bargaining unit will look to secure a first collective agreement. Subsequent rounds of negotiations will build off that agreement.
