Table legislation to reform the system of collective bargaining, including to eliminate the automatic extension of sectoral agreements to those not represented in negotiations, and guarantee that firm level agreements take precedence over sectoral agreements without undue restrictions (by end-December).
Introduced at R2. Macro-critical relevance: Increases flexibility of the labor market. At R3, collective bargaining reforms have been completed, but more time will be needed to assess their impact (MEFP ¶23). After consultations with social partners, the authorities decided to allow an opt-out from the automatic extension of collectively agreed wages to non-negotiating parties (rather than eliminate it entirely, as planned).
