Document background
The Greenfields Agreement is a crucial document in the United States used when establishing new business operations, facilities, or major projects where employment terms need to be set before hiring begins. This agreement type is particularly relevant in situations involving unionized workforces and significant capital investments. It encompasses comprehensive provisions for labor relations, environmental compliance, operational standards, and development requirements, ensuring alignment with federal regulations including the National Labor Relations Act, state laws, and local ordinances. The agreement serves as a foundation for future workplace relations, establishing clear parameters for employment conditions, dispute resolution, and operational procedures while providing certainty for both employers and unions during the development phase of new projects.
