Approximately 1.9 million people in the Netherlands are members of a trade union. This means that 27 of every 100 members of the working population are trade union members.
-
With over 1.2 million members (around 60 percent of all trade union members), the Dutch Trade Union Federation (FNV) is by far the biggest trade union federation in the Netherlands.
-
The Federation of Christian Trade Unions (CNV) represents around 18 percent of trade union members.
-
The MHP, which represents middle and senior ranking staff, accounts for 8 percent. Other trade union members are affiliated to an organisation representing a particular category.
These are trade unions that do not cooperate in a central federation and usually represent a specific occupational group.
