“集体合同”常见的英文表达是 “collective agreement” 或 “collective contract”。
collective agreement:在英式英语以及国际劳动组织相关语境中更为常用,强调这是雇主与代表员工的组织(如工会)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.(集体合同规定了公司所有员工的就业条款和条件。)
collective contract:在美式英语里也经常使用,意思与“collective agreement”相近 。例如:The collective contract between the union and the management was finally signed.(工会与管理层之间的集体合同最终签署了。 )
