Social Sciences - Economics / Economic sociology | | German term or phrase: Branchentarifvertrag | Kennt jemand eine Übersetzung für den Begriff "Branchentarifvertrag"?
Der unmittelbare Zusammenhang:
"Als überbetriebliche Interessenorganisation müssen Gewerkschaften auf Normierung und Standardisierung der Arbeitsbeziehungen aus sein - die Voraussetzung für Flächen- bzw. *Branchen-Tarifverträge* - was auch handlungsentlastend für die Betriebsräte ist."
Ich habe mir "sector-wide labour contract/collective labour agreement" überlegt, aber vielleicht gibt es etwas Besseres? |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseTonyTK: 12:24pm Aug 6, 2006: These terms (and others like "Mantel-") are used very loosely by different organisations. You could maybe go with something vague like "regional and industry-wide collective agreements".

| | industry-wide collective agreement | Explanation:
"In late June 2003, Germany’s largest industrial trade union, IG Metall, halted strikes in the eastern metalworking industry after failing to secure a reduction in the working week. The strike highlighted the trend towards more companies brokering their own deals with their workers, and breaking away from sectoral collective bargaining. Some commentators believe that the fall-out from the failed strike could reinforce important changes in the traditional German wage bargaining system, as more workers accept more flexible working time or lower wages in exchange for job guarantees in individual firms. However, many employers and employers’ organisations still support industry-wide collective agreements, but only if they set more 'employment-friendly' minimum standards and leave enough leeway for flexibility" |
