Technically, yes, on paper, they do expire, gets cancelled and renewed every 2-3 years.

In practice, no. They can’t not be renewed. If the employees don’t accept the agreement there will be a strike, and if the employers don’t accept the agreement they can make a lock-out. If the strike or lock-out leads nowhere, and society comes to a halt, the government can sign a law to require the work to resume on previous terms.

The individual employer has no more say in the negotiations than an individual employee. The negotiations happen between the employer union and the employee union.

Keep in mind that some companies actually want to have a union agreement. It’s really only the most unprofessionally run and privately owned companies who believe they can somehow save money from not having an proper agreement with their employees.

Professionel companies focus on making money instead.of wasting resources fighting their own employees.
