Sažetak
Drawing on a selection of multi-employer and company collective agreements, as well as numerous interviews with the key social partners in the sector, the chapter examines the extent to which pay bargaining is influenced by minimum wage developments and the consequences for pay equity and social dialogue. In particular, the chapter explores how different minimum wage systems affect social actors’ pay bargaining strategies and investigates the implications for pay equity and the quality of social dialogue. The research method was designed to explore the various strategies and approaches taken by social actors (unions and employers) at sector and company level, the interactions between their strategies and the impact of the institutional context (especially related to a period of increases in the statutory minimum wage) on their behaviour with respect to both collective bargaining and compliance.
