Abstract

[Excerpt] This study describes the legal creation of an industry-wide, tripartite collective bargaining structure in the private sector of the Chilean textile industry. The former structure limited collective bargaining to employers and employees within the confines of a single plant. The reform established a central bargaining organism where representatives of employers, employees and the government negotiated a single labor agreement for the nation's entire private sector.
