Summary: Tendency of the current agreements (EUCOBAN Survey 2013) • 8 Company CA, 3 Sectoral CA, 4 Intersectoral CA • Compared to the preceding survey period the current wage increases were lower. • Inreasing number of CA with a longer runtime. • Most of the CA included beside wages qualitative elements, eg. Instruments for securing employment, regulations against precarious work, instruments of training and qualification. • New regulations of working time in the steel industry of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. • Difficult situation for negotiations of trade unions due to the fact that the economic crisis has not been overcome in most of European countries. • Negative impact of austerity policy and new European Interventionism on Wages and Collective Bargaining.
