“集体协议”常见的英文表达是 “collective agreement” ，也可表述为 “collective bargaining agreement” 。
collective agreement：这是较为直接和常用的说法，强调这是由集体（如工会代表员工群体）与雇主或雇主组织之间达成的协议。例如：The collective agreement sets out the terms and conditions of employment for all workers in the company.（集体协议规定了公司所有员工的雇佣条款和条件。）
collective bargaining agreement：这种表述更具体地突出了协议是通过集体谈判（collective bargaining）达成的，侧重于谈判这一过程。例如：The collective bargaining agreement between the union and the management was finally signed after months of negotiations.（经过数月的谈判，工会与管理层之间的集体谈判协议终于签署。）
