The sector contributes around 4% of the GDP and employs about 5% of the workforce. Although the sector has several employer associations, none of them has taken the role of the employer or participated in collective bargaining at sectoral level. There is one strong sectoral trade union – the LMP – joining more than 20 large enterprises in the food and drink sector. Collective bargaining coverage in the sector might be equal to approximately 25%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.eurofound.europa.eu\u002Feiro\u002Fstudies\u002Ftn1207014s\u002Flt1207019q.htm\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.eurofound.europa.eu\u002Feiro\u002Fstudies ... \u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\"> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
