What is collective bargaining?

Remember the commotion over employee rights when the Homeland Security Department ws being created? Well, the union sued and the case was finally decided. Here's what the judge, a Bush appointee, said, "The department could unilaterally absolve itself of contractual obligations while employees and their unions would be bound by those agreements....Collective bargaining has at least one ireducible minimum that is missing: a binding contract."

In other words, the government tried to screw its employees.
