WP RR 17 - Industrial relations in the transport sector in the Netherlands

Table 3 Multi-employer collective wage agreements in the road transport sector in the
Netherlands

Table 4 The number of companies and number of employees covered by the collective
labour agreement and coverage after general extension of the collective labour
agreement¹⁶.

Source: FNV, 2001; interviews.

¹⁶ These figures are based on the 1998 figures of the Labour Inspectorate of the Ministry of Social Affairs and
Employment. In 1999 the Labour Inspectorate has changed its database structure and the new database is still
under construction. However less recent, the 1998 figures are more reliable indicators of the representativeness
than the actual figures.

¹⁷ A couple of years ago, the 4 transport companies had 24 subdivisions, which were counted separately by the
Ministry of Social Affairs. Apart from the four public transport bus companies, one bus maintenance company has
adopted the public transport collective agreement.

¹⁸ This figure also includes employees covered by the KNV Goederen collective agreement. Firms affiliated to KNV
Goederen receive dispensation from the TLN agreement.
