The National Survey on Working Conditions (NEA) is a large scale survey among the workforce. In 2015 the statistical office CBS and research institute TNO worked out the 11th NEA, in cooperation with the labour ministry. The results show that only 20% of the workforce active in flexible jobs is satisfied with this status; the other 80% is looking for a direct contract. The survey also asked the attitude of workers towards collective agreements. The respondents (in total almost 46,000 workers) expressed both high importance (19.5 not important, 50.6% important, 30% highly important) and relatively high satisfaction (18.8% not satisfied, 70% satisfied, 11.2% highly satisfied) towards the existence and content of collective agreements.
