The SEIU is leading a charge to bring sectoral bargaining to the U.S. Ignoring the largest labor federation in the U.S. (the AFL-CIO), the Chamber of Commerce, and recent developments in Europe (German companies are fleeing such arrangements in droves upon being given the chance), the ultra-activist SEIU is touting a Biden endorsement and a recent report issued from the Democratically-controlled House Education and Labor Committee.
Sectoral bargaining—also known as multiemployer, industrywide, or broad-based bargaining—is a form of collective bargaining that covers all workers in a sector of the economy. The U.S. follows a model of enterprise bargaining (based on individual workplaces) whereas much of Europe uses the sectoral model.
