An agreement between an employer and a union such that the union will represent all the workers at a particular workplace. This is when a business decides to negotiate with only a single trade union.
The right of workers to negotiate as a group with management is known as "collective bargaining." If a Union wants to be the representative of the workers in a particular industry or plant, an elective bargaining election is held. The workers vote for the union to represent them or not to have the union represent them. If the Union wins the vote, then a collective bargaining agreement is drawn up between management and representatives of the Union elected or selected by the members of that union. A collective bargaining agreement negotiates for things like wages, health benefits, safety concerns, etc. After the agreement is reached, the workers then vote on whether to accept it and then it goes into effect.
In the United States, using the term "solving labor problems" usually means that workers in a particular company belong to a Labor Union. If that's the case than normally there is a grievance procedure worked out by the union & the company. If the labor problem is over wages, and or the negotiation of a new labor-company agreement, then normally a date is set for the union & the company to negotiate a new wage and probably new benefits package for the company and its workers.
Technically there are no union mining companies, only union miners working for mine companies. Within an individual company that owns several mines there may have both union and non-union workers because each particular mine in that company has the opportunity to join the union or choose not to - it's based on the mine workers' preference not the company's. Hobet's largest mine in Boone County, West Virginia is a union mine, and to the best of my knowledge all of Hobet's mines employ union workers.
