The employer is bound by the bargained minimum. They’re free to offer more, to one or many or all employees.

- bwestergard 4y agoYou are both slightly off. It's entirely up to the parties bargaining how much discretion the employer has to adjust terms during the life of a collective bargaining agreement. For pay specifically, it's not uncommon for the union to propose wage floors and allow some individualized bargaining. It's also not uncommon to specify a full wage schedule for the sake of transparency. The workers get to decide what makes sense for them. Sometimes they decide on different systems for different career tracks.
- dontlaugh 4y agoSure, but I’ve yet to see anything but a floor in bargaining agreements.
- itsdrewmiller 4y agoYou should take a look at teacher pay schedules - they are generally very prescriptive beyond just a floor in my experience.
