Collective Bargaining Agreement Databases

Collective Bargaining Agreements File - U.S. Dept. of Labor
This site has full text of collective bargaining agreements covering 1000+ employees (except railroads and airlines which are covered by the National Mediation Board). Companies and organizations submit contracts voluntarily, so there is no guarantee of finding a contract for a given company or that the most recent contract is on the site.
Labor Contracts Database - University of California - Berkeley
A "clearinghouse for cataloged and digitized complete text of union contracts." Contracts are listed here by state, union name, and occupation. PDF versions of contracts are available for free.

Googling for Contracts

You can also sometimes find contracts via Google searches like these:

Boeing "collective bargaining agreement" filetype:pdf

"International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers" "collective bargaining agreement"

grocery OR supermarket "collective bargaining agreement" filetype:pdf

Google Search Tips:
Use quotes for exact phrases.

Advanced Search will allow you to enter alternate terms (grocery OR supermarket)
Since agreements are often posted in PDF format, it can help to use an advanced search feature to limit results to PDF format.

These are usually long documents, so they can take awhile to download.
You may find sites that sell documents for a fee--but the same document may be on another site for free.
