Abstract

This study argues that sectoral bargaining offers a flexible alternative to legal regulation in setting terms and conditions of employment, encourages participation and involvement, brings benefits to employers and improves productivity and performance. It also provides a platform for sector and cross-sector social dialogue leading to improved policymaking and better macroeconomic outcomes. A statutory framework based on Wages Council-type arrangements and Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service Codes of Practice is recommended for the United Kingdom, with sectors in the ‘foundational economy’ being prioritised. Sector agreements need to be about much more than pay, though, if they are to realise their potential.

在英国引入部门谈判:为什么有意义以及如何实现
本研究认为,在确定就业条款和条件方面,部门谈判为法律监管提供了一个灵活的替代方案,鼓励参与和介入,为雇主带来利益,并提高生产力和绩效。它还为部门和跨部门的社会对话提供了一个平台,从而改善决策和宏观经济成果。建议在英国建立一个以工资委员会类型的安排和咨询、调解和仲裁服务业务守则为基础的法定框架,优先考虑 "基础经济 "部门。不过,部门协议要想实现其潜力,需要考虑的远不止薪酬问题。
