collective bargaining agreement


Explanation:
There are a number of ways to translate this term. However, "collective agreement" with the addition of "bargaining" etc. seems to be the most commonly chosen translation.
Examples:
APR 3/98: "collective agreement on working conditions"
US Mil. Dic. EN>GER: "industry-wide collective bargaining agreement"
Also, Dietl/Lorenz,Dictionary of Legal, Commercial and Political Terms provides the following options for translation: "outline collective agreement (on working conditions)", "skeleton wage agreement" and (US) "basic agreement".
