  BIBB / Current trends in collective agreements aimed at fostering training
The primary aims of collective agreements on measures to foster training are to maintain or increase the number of in-company training places and to either ensure that individuals who complete in-company training are subsequently hired by the company providing their training or to increase the number of trainees being hired.
Looking at how collective agreements on measures to foster training have developed over the years, it is striking that the number of agreements has grown enormously while the overall number of employed persons in the sectors covered by these agreements has remained almost unchanged.
In some collective bargaining sectors, the requirement to hire trainees upon completion of their training was made contingent upon the individual's suitability and, in some cases, on their willingness to move or their level of flexibility.

 number - Information from Reference.com
Number applies to the result of a count or estimate in which the units are considered as individuals; it is used of groups of persons or things: to have a number of items on the agenda.
The real numbers are those representable by an infinite decimal expansion, which may be repeating or nonrepeating; they are in a one-to-one correspondence with the points on a straight line and are sometimes referred to as the continuum.
Numbers of the form z = x + yi, where x and y are real and i = -1, such as 8 + 7i (or 8 + 7-1), are called complex numbers; x is called the real part of z and yi the imaginary part.

 Number of collective agreements falls
Official statistics on collective bargaining and industrial action in Portugal in the first half of 2002, published in August 2002, show that there was a steep fall in the number of agreements concluded, and that the number of strikes rose.
The sharp fall in the number of collective agreements signed in the first half of 2002 may be a result of Portugal's current economic difficulties (PT0205101N), which make it difficult to negotiate improved pay and conditions without seeking new approaches to bargaining.
The increase in the number of 'new' agreements, is attributable to: attempts by recently created trade union organisations to gain support from workers by negotiating 'parallel agreements' alongside those concluded by existing unions; and bargaining in new companies created from former public corporations with a tradition of collective bargaining.

 The (Not So) Mysterious Resilience of Russia's Agricultural Collectives
To explain the puzzle of the longevity of collective farms, it is important to evaluate both the political and the economic benefits that different groups of stakeholders derive from the preservation of this institutional structure.
Interviews with collective farm managers in the Saratov oblast indicated that these farms serve as "guarantors of stability" in the countryside, as a safety net of last resort, and as input providers for the small private household plots of their employees.
In the Saratov oblast, for example, the number of individual farmers is decreasing despite the favorable natural endowments (such as rich fl soil) and a good legal framework for land transactions, while in the agriculturally poorly endowed Leningrad oblast the number of individual farmers is growing.

 MPIfG Working Paper 00/2, Stefan Zagelmeyer: Brothers in Arms in the European Car Wars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Collective bargaining on employment is understood here in the broad sense of collective relations between management or an employers' association and employees that deal with job reduction, maintenance, and creation, either directly or indirectly.
Resulting collective agreements on employment (or employment pacts) may include clauses on withdrawal of announced lay-offs, agreement to no compulsory redundancy, employment guarantee for certain groups of (or all) employees and for a certain time, unlimited employment guarantee, and additional employment for specific groups of (or all) employees.
At the sectoral level, in a number of countries, the social partners have included so-called "opening clauses" or "hardship clauses" in collective agreements, which usually allow the company-level actors to agree on temporary deviations from the standards of pay and conditions agreed in industry-level bargaining in exchange for temporary job guarantees.

 Arrêt de la Cour
This notification shall contain all relevant information concerning the projected collective redundancies and the consultations with workers’ representatives provided for in Article 2, and particularly the reasons for the redundancies, the number of workers to be made redundant, the number of workers normally employed and the period over which the redundancies are to be effected.
The Arbeitsgericht concludes that, applied to the provisions governing collective redundancies, the distinction between ‘Kündigung’ and ‘Entlassung’ has the effect that the existence of a collective redundancy is not determined by the date on which the contracts of employment are terminated, but by the date on which the individual periods of notice of redundancy expire.
By contrast, the notification to a worker that his or her contract of employment has been terminated is the expression of a decision to sever the employment relationship, and the actual cessation of that relationship on the expiry of the period of notice is no more than the effect of that decision.

It is the collective coherent motion of all of the atoms in the object that enables them to have impact on a large scale.
As the collective behavioral complexity at the scale of an individual increases, the branching ratio of the control structure becomes smaller and smaller so that fewer individuals are directed by a single manager, and the number of layers of management increases.
Instead of progressive simplification from an individual to larger and larger collections of individuals, we have the oppositean increasing complexity that is tied to an increasing complexity of the demands of the environment.

 EFF: A Better Way Forward: Voluntary Collective Licensing of Music File Sharing
Even though these collecting societies get a fair bit of criticism, there's no question that the system that has evolved for radio is preferable to one based on trying to sue radio out of existence one broadcaster at a time.
Because a collective licensing solution will depend on a single collecting society issuing blanket licenses covering all (or nearly all) music copyrights, there will need to be some antitrust regulation of the collecting society to ensure that it does not abuse its market power.
Copyright holders (and perhaps the collecting society itself) would continue to be entitled to enforce their rights against "free-loaders." Instead of threatening them with ruinous damages, however, the collecting society can offer stragglers the opportunity to pay a fine and get legal.

For the purpose of calculating the number of redundancies provided for in the first subparagraph of point (a), terminations of an employment contract which occur on the employer's initiative for one or more reasons not related to the individual workers concerned shall be assimilated to redundancies, provided that there are at least five redundancies.
These consultations shall, at least, cover ways and means of avoiding collective redundancies or reducing the number of workers affected, and of mitigating the consequences by recourse to accompanying social measures aimed, inter alia, at aid for redeploying or retraining workers made redundant.
However, Member States may provide that in the case of planned collective redundancies arising from termination of the establishment's activities as a result of a judicial decision, the employer shall be obliged to notify the competent public authority in writing only if the latter so requests.

That is why the collective farmer now has fewer cares than when he was on his individual farm; for the cares and responsibility for the enterprise are now shared by all the collective farmers.
They decided that since we have collective farms, which represent a socialist form of economy, we have everything; that this is sufficient to ensure the proper management of these farms, the proper planning of collective farming, and the conversion of the collective farms into exemplary socialist enterprises.
Hence, it is not only a matter of the collective farms themselves as a socialist form of organization; it is primarily a matter of the content that is put into this form; it is primarily a matter of who stands at the head of the collective farms and who leads them.

The Commission stated in the Decision that the undertakings proposed by Airtours on 7 September 1999 would not prevent the creation of a collective dominant position and that the undertakings put forward on 15 September 1999 were submitted too late to be considered at that stage in the procedure.
The applicant argues that, contrary to the Commission's contention, the factors put forward by the Commission in the Decision to characterise the situation as one of collective dominance were not present at the time of the notification and would not occur were the merger to proceed.
Caution cannot therefore be interpreted, as such, as evidence of a collective dominant position rather than as a characteristic of a competitive market of the kind that existed at the time of the notification.
