Swedish term or phrase: central förhandling
"Central förhandling" of labour market negotiations, as contrasted with decentral (firm-level) or local trade union negotiations.

Perhaps simply keep the term "central" - i.e. central labour market negotiations?

As to your note, 'central' won't apply to the US due to their particular circumstances -- very little union activity at all in a highly hostile and corrupt environment.

But how are (were) things done in the UK? Centrally, sectorally, industry-wide, or nationally? Yeah, the latter for Brits ... But still, synonyms perhaps? In any case your involved in collective bargaining...

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks for the Swedish reference. However that is a translation. I was looking (and haven't yet found) where the term "central" is used in an original text in an English speaking country.

central negotiations


Explanation:
Googling "central negotiations" (as the most straightforward translation) brought up quite a few relevant examples, e.g.

Example sentence(s):
  • The IBF negotiations include both central negotiations and local negotiations which allow for development of core principles which can then be incorporated into specific local arrangements.

Explanation:
Hello
I've seen Deane's answer and Charles' remark.

I think you do find Deane's answer on English speaking sites but perhaps not UK sites so much.

So, if the asker doesn't want 'central'? -that's the word that surprised me too.

Well, my first reaction as an Englishman (UK) would have been more along the lines of 'national negotiations' but that only works if the context makes it clear that we are talking trade unions.

Otherwise national negotiations between the trade union and the employers or similar.

So this is just an alternative
