Tarifvertragsparteien

Tarifvertragsparteien are the parties involved in negotiating and signing collective agreements in Germany. Essentially, they are the employers' association (or individual employers) and the trade union representing employees. These parties work together to agree on working conditions, wages, working hours, and other employment terms for a specific industry or company. The collective agreement sets binding rules that apply to all workers and employers within that sector, ensuring standardized employment conditions and promoting social stability. Their negotiations and agreements are fundamental to Germany’s labor relations system.
