Tarifautonomie

Tarifautonomie is a principle in labor law that allows employers and employees' representatives (like unions) to independently negotiate and determine working conditions, wages, and other employment terms without outside interference. This self-regulation fosters collaborative decision-making and flexibility within the labor market, ensuring that agreements reflect the specific needs of the industry or company. It emphasizes the importance of voluntary negotiations and collective bargaining, maintaining a balance of power between employers and workers, and promoting a stable and fair working environment through mutual agreement.
