Understanding your rights in the Private Medical Sector

This page is designed to help employees in the private medical sector understand their rights and obligations under collective bargaining arrangements, as well as the role of trade unions in protecting those rights. The information below is based on principles contained in the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) for the sector, explained in clear and practical language.

  • Collective bargaining is a formal process through which workers, represented by their trade union, negotiate with employers or employer organisations on matters such as wages, working conditions, benefits, and other terms of employment. The outcome of this process is recorded in a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), which becomes binding on both parties.
