Contractor-Union Agreements Reshape Labor Landscape, Empower Contract Workers
The article discusses the legal aspects of agreements between contractors and contract workers' unions. It explains that for an agreement to be considered a collective agreement, the parties involved must have the capacity to negotiate such agreements. This means that contractors must have a direct involvement in employment contracts or a similar status. If the agreement meets the requirements set by the Labor Union And Labor Relations Adjustment Act, it can be considered a collective agreement. The article suggests that contractors can be seen as joint employers in the context of contract and subcontract relationships.
