To help readers understand the content better, the following terms and glossaries have been provided.

Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs): Collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) are contracts negotiated between employers and a group of employees to establish employment terms. A union or other labor organization usually represents the group of employees. The negotiation process covers various aspects of employment, including wages, working hours, training, health and safety, overtime, grievance mechanisms, and benefits such as health insurance, pensions, and holiday entitlements.

The primary goal of collective bargaining is to provide a fair and transparent process for determining working conditions and to protect the interests of both the employees and the employer. Once an agreement is reached, it is legally binding and applies to all employees in the bargaining unit, regardless of whether they are union members.

Collective bargaining can occur at different levels, including individual companies, industries, or even across an entire country, depending on the structure of labor relations in that region. The process is considered a fundamental right in many countries and is protected by labor laws and regulations. It plays a crucial role in maintaining labor peace, ensuring equitable labor practices, and contributing to workers’ and their communities’ overall economic and social well-being.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) was a multinational corporation that was one of the world’s leading automakers. The company was established in 2014 through a merger of two historic automakers: the Italian company Fiat S.p.A. and the American company Chrysler Group LLC.
