Resumen de The application of collective agreements in cross-border employment contracts

Noelia Fernández Avello

• Applying collective bargaining agreements in cross-border employment contracts is controversial for two main reasons: first, the employment contract may sometimes fall within the scope of a collective agreement that does not belong to the employment contract law, so alternatives should be assessed to ensure its more favourable working conditions; secondly, the application of a collective agreement which does not belong to the contract law may then impact how the applicable law is determined. Equality plans must be referenced as they raise specific problems in cross-border employment contracts.
