CELSI joins several Collective Agreement projects with the WageIndicator Foundation. WageIndicator and its project partners collect hundreds of Collective Agreements every year. These are then annotated: each clause gets identified based on the issue it adresses. Researchers from various organisations and countries use these annotations to analyse the contents of the agreements, leading to insights into collective bargaining and industrial relations.
