Projects Level-Up I: Support and develop collective bargaining coverage


Workers negotiating their working conditions with employers through their trade unions is good.
But what if we pushed for many companies bargaining at the same time?

This project is in direct response to one of our priorities of developing collective bargaining, and the need to exchange on best-practices to develop and sustain sectoral collective bargaining in Europe.

It also relates to ongoing discussions at the EU policy level on putting benchmarks regarding optimal collective bargaining coverage rates, and requiring Member States to develop national action plans to promote collective bargaining.

Contacts: Stan De Spiegelaere, UNI Europa Policy and Research Director and Smahan Jabiri-Egan, Communications Coordinator.

This project is supported by the European Commission.

WHY MULTI-EMPLOYER BARGAINING BENEFITS ALL

Workers negotiating their working conditions with employers through their trade unions is good. But when they do so for many companies at the same time, the outcomes are even better. Multi-employer bargaining, or setting minimum conditions for comparable companies through negotiations, has benefits for workers, trade unions, employers and society at large!
