Samningsaðilum

Samningsaðilum refers to the parties involved in a negotiation or agreement. This term is commonly used in Icelandic labor law and collective bargaining. In the context of labor relations, samningsaðilum typically refers to trade unions and employers' organizations, or individual employers if they are not part of an organization. These parties engage in negotiations to reach collective agreements that outline terms and conditions of employment, such as wages, working hours, benefits, and dispute resolution procedures.

The process of collective bargaining involves representatives from each side coming together to discuss and reach a consensus on these matters. When an agreement is reached, it is formally documented and becomes legally binding for all members of the respective unions and employers' organizations. The concept of samningsaðilum underscores the principle of social dialogue and the importance of representation in determining the framework of employment relationships. Successful negotiations between samningsaðilum contribute to stable labor markets and fair working conditions.
