Eurofound has published studies on the representativeness of the actors involved in the European sectoral social dialogue committee for the extractive industries. Their relative representativeness legitimises their right to be consulted, their role and effective participation in the European sectoral social dialogue, and their capacity to negotiate agreements. The aim of Eurofound’s representativeness studies is to identify the relevant national and European social partner organisations in the EU Member States. The first study assesses the representativeness of IndustriAll Europe, representing trade unions in the extractive industries, and Euracoal, Euromines, IMA-Europe, Aggregates Europe – UEPG, and APEP, representing the employers and companies, in the European sectoral social dialogue committee for extractive industries. The second study assesses the representativeness of the European Construction Industry Federation (FIEC) (representing the employers in 24 Member States) and the European Federation of Building and Wood Workers (EFBWW) (representing the employees in 24 Member States).
