Swedish term or phrase: kollektivavtal
Jag har sett både collective agreement, collective labour agreement (CLA) or collective bargaining agreement (CBA).
När man refererar till kollektivavtal som finns på den svenska arbetsmarknaden - vilken variant är mest korrekt, alt vanligast?

Skiljer de sig åt mellan ENUK och ENUS?
Om man har en text som refererar till avtal i flera länder, använd de olika varianterna för att referera till avtalstyper som skiljer sig åt mellan länder?

Explanation:
This is the eurospeak term, which is what I use for that reason... We are in euroland... Tho I grew up with collective bargaining agreement in the US.
