The occupational coverage of collective agreements is linked to the mandated occupational area of the signatory trade union and covers under Act No. 55/1980, all work that is customarily performed by workers who are members of the signatory union or is performed by workers engaged in the same type of work that the agreement applies to.
The geographical coverage depends on the material scope of the agreement on the one hand and the limits posed on by the geographical district of the negotiating trade union on the other.
