he resulting contract or CB agreeme

he resulting contract or CB agreement (CBA) is enforced under federal and state law ("Collective Bargaining and Labor Arbitration," n.d.). Further, since the CBA is a legally binding contract, it prevents employers from making arbitrary decisions about changing the negotiated agreements of the contract. To insure recourse to nurses when they dispute employers’ interpretation of the contract, the CBA usually also will include grievance and arbitration procedures ("Collective Bargaining FAQs," n.d.; Troutman-Poole, 2002).
