At the same time, coordination of collective bargaining in form of sectoral and\u002For multi-employer bargaining is gaining more importance than ever in connection to the European Minimum Wage Directive, which obligates the EU Member States to transpose stipulations related to minimum wage levels and bargaining coverage. Bargaining coverage can increase either by strenghtening multi-employer bargaining, or by the use of extension mechanisms to cover more workers than those working in companies organized in employers‘ associations engaged in collective bargaining. Due to the diversity of EU Member States‘ bargaining traditions and institutional foundations for bargaining, both mechanisms need to be plugged in to meet the above challenges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Research questions\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Col>\n\u003Cli>What are the main motivations\u002Fdrivers\u002Fadvantages for (1) trade unions, (2) employers\u002Femployers’organisations and (3) governments\u002Fsociety to engage in\u002Fsupport multi-employer collective bargaining?\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>What are the currently existing different types of MEB systems in Europe1, with a focus on the services sector?\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>What are the effects of multi-employer bargaining on working conditions, wages, inequality, competitiveness, innovation, social peace, and unionization in services sector?\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>What are necessary and sufficient conditions for the development of MEB systems, with focus on services sector?\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>In which periods, in which context, how and for which reasons were MEB systems developed and how\u002Fwhen\u002Fwhere are they under pressure?\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Fol>\n\u003C\u002Ftd>\n\u003C\u002Ftr>\n\u003Ctr>\n\u003Ctd>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Lead Partners\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003C\u002Ftd>\n\u003Ctd>\n\u003Cp>WageIndicator Foundation, Central European Labour Studies Institute (CELSI)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003C\u002Ftd>\n\u003C\u002Ftr>\n\u003Ctr>\n\u003Ctd>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Publications\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003C\u002Ftd>\n\u003Ctd>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca data-linktype=\"internal\" data-val=\"7f1aa0b0a0ca4e7e828261b06cc7dc36\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwageindicator.org\u002Fwhat-we-do\u002Fpublications\u002F2023\u002Flevel-up-support-and-develop-collective-bargaining-coverage\">Ceccon, D., Kahancová, M., Martišková, M., Medas, G. & Šumichrast, A.
