Question 3 of 10
Hva er en tariffavtale?
What is a collective agreement?
- En avtale mellom arbeidsgivere og fagforeninger om lønn og vilkårAn agreement between employers and trade unions about pay and conditionsRight answer

- En avtale mellom kommunen og en familie om barnehageplassAn agreement between the municipality and a family about a kindergarten place

A collective agreement is made when trade unions and employers, or their organisations, negotiate pay and conditions. You as an employee do not make it alone with your boss. Both sides must follow it, and it has nothing to do with Nav or a kindergarten place.
