§ 182.675 — Relationship to Collective Bargaining
Plain-Language Summary
Workers and employers may try to resolve safety disputes through collective bargaining agreements or other dispute resolution methods, but using these processes does not take away any rights under the workplace safety law. Workers can still pursue all legal remedies regardless of the outcome of informal resolution efforts.
