Extension of collective agreements: Evidence from the updated IRLex database
30 June 2022
Collective agreements are the result of collective bargaining between one or more workers' organisations, on the one hand, and one or more employers or employers' organisations, on the other hand, to determine the terms and conditions of employment and to regulate the relations between workers and employers and their respective organisations.

This factsheet, based on the IRLex database, provides a comparative overview of the legal frameworks regulating extension mechanisms.
