Government intervention in wage bargaining.

1. The government imposes private sector wage settlements, places a ceiling on bargaining outcomes or suspends bargaining.
2. The government participates directly in wage bargaining (tripartite bargaining, as in social pacts).
3. The government influences wage bargaining outcomes indirectly through price-ceilings, indexation, tax measures, minimum wages, and/or pattern setting through public sector wages.
4. The government influences wage bargaining by providing an institutional framework of consultation and information exchange, by conditional agreement to extend private sector agreements, and/or by providing a conflict resolution mechanism which links the settlement of disputes across the economy and/or allows the intervention of state arbitrators or Parliament.
5. None of the above.
