Federation Of Dutch Trade Unions
The Federation of Dutch Trade Unions (, FNV) is a national trade union centre in the Netherlands. The FNV is a significant player in the field of work and income. The trade union consists of a central federation, complemented by several sectoral unions representing specific professional groups and sectors. The FNV aims to safeguard the interests of employees, promote fair labor conditions, and protect workers' rights at the national level. History The FNV was founded in 1976 from the merger of the Dutch Catholic Trade Union Federation (NKV) and the social-democratic Dutch Confederation of Trade Unions (NVV). The Protestant Christian National Trade Union Federation (CNV) originally also participated in the talks, but it refused to fully merge into a new union.

Trade Unions In The Netherlands
Trade unions play a major role in the corporatist Dutch economy. Dynamics In 2001 about 25% of the Dutch people who were employed were organized in a union. There are three major unions: the Christian democratic Christian National Trade Union Federation (CNV), the social democratically oriented Federation of Dutch Trade Unions (FNV) and the Trade Union Federation for Professionals (VCP). All are federations of sector-based labour unions. The FNV is the largest of the three with about 1.4 million members. The CNV has 350.000 members, and the VCP has 160.000. The FNV has 17 affiliate unions, the CNV 11 and the VCP 4. The labour unions play a major role in the Dutch economy because, first, they bargain with employers' organizations over wages and working conditions (these deals are binding for all employed people), and second, they advise the government on economic legislation through their membership of the Social and Economic Council (SER).

National Trade Union Center
Organizers within trade unions have sought to increase the bargaining power of workers in regards to collective bargaining by acting in collaboration with other trade unions. Multi-union organizing can take place on an informal basis, or on a more formal basis via an umbrella organization comprising multiple trade unions. Such umbrella organizations may be referred to as a trade union federation, trade union confederation, or trade union centre.
