Ireland's system of centralized bargaining through social partnership addresses broad social and economic concerns rather than more immediate economic or workplace agreements.

Centralized Bargaining

A negotiation process in which a central body, rather than individual employers, negotiates on behalf of multiple employers with a union(s), typically resulting in a collective agreement.

Social Partnership

A form of cooperation between the government, businesses, and trade unions to formulate and implement policies collectively, often focusing on economic and social issues.
