Representativeness of the European social partner organisations: Cleaning activities industry

This study from the European Industrial Relations Observatory (EIRO) aims to provide the necessary information for assisting the existing sectoral social dialogue in the cleaning activities sector. The report identifies the national organisations on both sides of the industry, and analyses the sector’s relevant European organisations. Following a brief overview of the sector’s economic background, the study describes the social partner organisations in all of the EU Member States, focusing on membership, their role in collective bargaining and public policy, and national and European affiliations. It then goes on to look at the relevant European organisations, focusing in particular on membership levels and capacity to negotiate.
