Regulation by the government of the wage bargaining framework (e.g. extension of collective agreements, representativeness of social partners, etc).
Other criteria indicating the quality of surveys, such as the number of observers, observer agreements, representativeness for larger samples, and the use of validated instruments were not always described, but were not used in the exclusion process.
Although only GFRα1+ cells located in the superficial region of the testis were filmed, their representativeness is supported by the agreement of the densities and compositions of GFRα1+ units measured by live-imaging and whole-mount immunostaining studies (the latter represents the average values of the entire tubules).
Average pair-wise agreement for clarity, relevance, and representativeness was calculated as an average of the individual item pair-wise agreement percentages.
The criteria for trade unions to secure representativeness status as a precondition for negotiating valid agreements at sector and company levels have been tightened and where unions do not meet these criteria employers can negotiate with elected non-union employee representatives.
We earlier noted a qualified softening of the position of the OECD inter alia against extension agreements conditional on such factors as the representativeness of the social partners and the dispersion of productivity between firms.
Overall pair-wise percent agreement between raters was ≥85% for clarity, relevance, and representativeness.
These costs can be mitigated by (higher) representativeness thresholds, which can in principle preserve the usefulness of extension agreements such as preventing the undercutting of reasonable employment standards and sustaining collective bargaining.
However, in the absence of clear and stringent rules on the representativeness of social partners and without a national minimum wage, "pirate agreements" with yellow unions are legal as far as they respect the procedural requirements of the law (see Tomassetti, 2016 for the case of Italy).
This is in good agreement with the composition of our study group and supports its representativeness.
