!!!Arbeitgeberverbände

Employers' Associations, voluntary employers' interest groups for 
certain industries and regions, established as civil-law associations. 
Along with the  Economic Chambers, they negotiate and conclude 
industrial relations agreements with the  Trade Unions.

\\
The most important employers' organisations in Austria are:

\\
Organisations without the capacity to enter into collective 
agreements: Oesterreichischer Wirtschaftsbund, Freier 
Wirtschaftsverband Oesterreichs, Ring Freiheitlicher 
Wirtschaftstreibender, Oesterreichischer Gewerbeverein (for trades), 
Handelsverband (commerce).

\\
Organisations capable of entering into collective agreements:  
Vereinigung der Oesterreichischen Industrie (industrial organisation); 
Pharmazeutischer Reichsverband fuer Oesterreich (pharmaceuticals); 
Theatererhalterverband oesterreichischer Bundeslaender und Staedte 
(theatre management); Wiener Theater-Direktoren-Verband (theatre 
directors); Landesverbaende der Kinobesitzer (cinema owners); Verband 
der Konzertlokalbesitzer und aller Veranstalter Oesterreichs (concert 
venue owners and event promoters); various associations of financial 
and insurance institutions, as well as Verband oesterreichischer 
Banken und Bankiers (banks and bankers) and Verband der 
Versicherungsunternehmen Oesterreichs (insurance institutions); 
Landesverbaende der land- und forstwirtschaftlichen Arbeitgeber 
(agriculture and forestry); Oesterreichischer  Raiffeisenverband 
(agricultural cooperatives); Landesverbaende der Haus- und 
Grundbesitzer (real estate owners); Verband der Elektrizitaetswerke 
Oesterreichs (electrical power plants);  Verband Oesterreichischer 
Zeitungen (newspapers); Oesterreichischer  Genossenschaftsverband 
(cooperatives); Oesterreichischer Apothekenverband (pharmacists); 
Hauptverband der graphischen Unternehmungen Oesterreichs (graphics 
enterprises) and others.

\\
Only a few organisations, such as the Bankenverband (Bankers' 
Association) or Hauptverband der graphischen Unternehmungen (Central 
Association of Graphics Enterprises), actually make use of their 
ability to conclude collective agreements. As a rule, only the 
interest groups' legal representative bodies, i.e. the Economic 
Chambers, conclude collective agreements.
