| Employers with union-represented employees are subject to the often detailed, complex, and restrictive provisions of labor contracts, also referred to as collective bargaining agreements.
Furthermore, under federal labor law, such employers may even be bound by practices which become the "law of the shop," although not written into the collective bargaining agreement.
In some union workplaces, employees adopt a very legalistic mentality, constantly on the lookout for alleged contract violations for use in formulating new grievances. The manner in which the employer responds to such grievances can have substantial implications for future labor-management relations and future collective bargaining negotiations.
Union employers thus operate in a legal environment demanding constant attention to numerous aspects of
labor relations. Labor contract administration in this context is an ongoing process requiring familiarity with the employer's particular workplace practices and with the details of the collective bargaining agreement.
