Like the two sides of a coin, both advantages and disadvantages of collective bargaining can be discussed, which can work for or against the parties involved. So long as the benefits outweigh the setbacks and employees get what they deserve without negative effects on the company’s resources and growth, collective bargaining can be a good thing. Employees who normally will not have the means and confidence to fight for their rights if they are not part of a trade union will have individuals who will challenge employers who take advantage of their workers. It prevents employees from going on strikes. It gives protection to all employees. It provides security and stability. It is prone to inequality. It can be biased to employers. Another disadvantage claimed by anti-collective bargaining is the time it takes for the negotiations to finish and materialise. Although collective bargaining is aimed to come up with solutions beneficial to both the management and employees, there are cases where nothing is agreed upon. When talks become futile, the situation might aggravate instead of mitigate.
