Sectoral collective bargaining
Sectoral collective bargaining is an aim of trade unions or labor unions to reach a collective agreement that covers all workers in a sector of the economy. It contrasts to enterprise bargaining where agreements cover individual firms. Generally countries with sectoral collective bargaining have higher rates of union organisation and better coverage of collective agreements than countries with enterprise bargaining.
United Kingdom
While sectoral bargaining used to be standard in the UK, enterprise bargaining was advocated by the Royal Commission on Trade Unions and Employers' Associations chaired by Lord Donovan.
United States
Sectoral bargaining was promoted by the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933, but struck down and replaced by enterprise bargaining under the National Labor Relations Act of 1935.
