Spanish term or phrase: titularidad sindical
THis is from a text about labor relations:

La reducción en la jornada legal en Chile disminuyó también la jornada efectiva, al tiempo que no tuvo un impacto negativo ni sobre el empleo ni sobre los salarios (Sánchez, 2013). Sin embargo, esta reforma no incluyó un mayor espacio para la negociación de la jornada al nivel de las empresas. Si bien este componente era parte de una reforma laboral que se había propuesto en el año 2015, tras la declaración de inconstitucionalidad de la titularidad sindical, dicha norma fue vetada para su aplicación en el marco de la negociación colectiva.

Is it a union's right to represent all workers in a sector? Or something else? Is there a term in English?

Many thanks!

Explanation:
"Entitlement" here is the right of a union to participate in collective bargaining, which was declared unconstitutional.

During the discussion of the Labour Reform Bill in Congress and following its approval by both chambers, a group of Congress members filed a constitutional complaint before the Constitutional Court.(1)

The court's decision was made public on May 9 2016. The court ruled that two of the bill's core provisions (union entitlement and the extension of benefits of collective bargaining agreements) were unconstitutional.

"Titularidad" on its own is also a synonym of many other concepts, and it doesn't intrinsically mean the right to engage in collective bargaining by itself in Englisih either. Both "titularidad" and "entitlement" acquire their correct meaning in this particular context.

SANTIAGO (Reuters) - A top court ruled on Wednesday that key provisions of Chilean President Michelle Bachelet’s landmark labor reform were unconstitutional, invalidating parts of the legislation just weeks before it was due to take effect.

In a 6-4 decision, the Tribunal rejected as unconstitutional a provision that said companies could only negotiate with legally designated unions during collective wage talks. It also rejected part of a measure that prohibited companies from extending benefits resulting from bargaining agreements to non-unionized employees.

“For more than a year and a half we told the government, in all manner of ways, that their intention of giving unions a monopoly and obligating workers to join a union in order to get the benefits (that are negotiated) was unjust and unconstitutional,” said opposition Senator Andres Allamand.

The ILO translates it as follows:
Artículos 1 a 6 del Convenio. Reforma laboral. La Comisión toma nota de la adopción de la ley núm. 20940 (moderniza el sistema de relaciones laborales) que entrará en vigor el 1.º de abril de 2017. La Comisión toma nota de que el Gobierno precisa que: i) en el proceso de tramitación de la ley se consultó con un amplio número de interlocutores sociales; ii) se tomaron en consideración los comentarios anteriores de la Comisión y aportes técnicos de la Oficina; iii) algunas disposiciones del proyecto de ley fueron sometidas al Tribunal Constitucional por senadores y diputados detractores de las mismas y el fallo acogió parcialmente su requerimiento, eliminando en particular las normas relativas a la titularidad sindical, y iv) el Gobierno tuvo que introducir modificaciones adicionales al proyecto debido a los desequilibrios introducidos con la supresión de la titularidad sindical.

Articles 1–6 of the Convention. Labour reform. The Committee notes the adoption of Act No. 20.940, modernizing the industrial relations system, which will enter into force on 1 April 2017. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that: (i) consultations were held with a large number of social partners during the process of adoption of the Act; (ii) the previous comments of the Committee and technical support of the Office were taken into consideration; (iii) certain provisions of the Bill by senators and deputies who opposed them were submitted to the Constitutional Court, and the ruling partially upheld their challenge, particularly by eliminating the provisions on the recognition of ***trade unions for collective bargaining purposes****; and (iv) the Government had to make additional amendments to the Bill due to the imbalances introduced through the elimination of the provisions on the recognition of trade unions for collective bargaining purposes.

neutral  Robert Carter: Hi Taña, I don't think it means ownership, I think the idea is what Wendy suggested to begin with, but I don't know the right term for it.//Yes, I absolutely do think it's fair to comment that I believe "ownership" is incorrect.

neutral  Robert Carter: "Entitlement" on its own is just a synonym of "right". I don't believe it intrinsically means the right to participate in collective bargaining, and your references fail to establish that it does. Saludos!

  -> From my references: "..trade union’s entitlement to engage in collective bargaining...", and "..the Constitutional Court declares that entitlement to be unconstitutional". This is the "titularidad" that was declared unconstitutional. ¡Saludos!
