Tarifverträge und deren Geltungsbereich

Tarifverträge

• Definition: Agreements between employers' associations or individual employers and unions (employee associations)
• Purpose: Define rights and duties, terms of employment, and industrial relations issues
• Types:
  • Mantel- oder Rahmentarifvertrag (Framework agreement): Covers general employment conditions like hiring/firing, working hours, overtime, vacation, pay scales, and pay continuation
  • Vergütungstarifvertrag (Wage agreement): Sets wage levels (salaries, wages, training stipends)

Geltungsbereich des Tarifvertrages (Scope of the Collective Agreement)

• Personal: Agreements are primarily between parties involved, unless there's a general applicability declaration or a company-specific agreement
• Spatial: Covers areas such as federal states, districts, cities, and specific workplaces
• Temporal: Agreements often have set durations
• Professional: Agreements can be relevant for specific employee groups (e.g., sales staff, technicians)
• Occupational: Agreement's relevance associated with the industry sector to which the company belongs

Entstehung eines Tarifvertrages (Formation of a Collective Agreement)

• Purpose: Establishes a peace obligation between employees and employers
• Dispute Resolution: During the agreement's validity, there should be no labor disagreements concerning the agreement's subject matter
• Renewal Process: When a collective agreement expires, both sides of the agreement (employers and workers) outline their objectives and priorities for a new agreement
• Negotiations: During negotiations there can be warning strikes to emphasize workers' demands.
• Arbitration: If no agreement is reached, then the involved parties start a mediation procedure to arbitrate the disagreements
• Strike: Legal strike action is possible if at least 75% of unionized employees vote in favor of it.
  • Requirements: The strike must be called by a union, the aim can only address conditions that can be regulated by a collective agreement, and the union must not be obligated to observe the peace obligation of a currently valid agreement.
• Lockout: Means temporarily halting work to pressure employees, often used as a last resort defensive measure with specified legal requirements. This procedure differs from dismissal (termination of employment)
