German term or phrase: Flächentarifvertrag
Kennt jemand eine Übersetzung für den Begriff des Flächentarifvertrages?

Der unmittelbare Zusammenhang:
Als überbetriebliche Interessenorganisation müssen Gewerkschaften auf Normierung und Standardisierung der Arbeitsbeziehungen aus sein - die Voraussetzung für *Flächen-* bzw. Branchen-*Tarifverträge* - was auch handlungsentlastend für die Betriebsräte ist.

Danke für die Hilfe!

  -> Yes, 'region' is suitably vague. Sometimes larger, sometimes smaller than national boundaries.
