CLA partners

In the Netherlands, about a thousand collective agreements cover about 80 percent of the employed population. CLA’s are agreed between one or several employers or employers’ organizations and one or several other unions.

In 2005 Kilian Schreuder has inventoried the signatory parties of all CLA’s which are entered in the DUCADAM dataset (N=3752) and collected them in a spreadsheet. This file is unique in the Netherlands

Information about signatory parties can give insight in power relations, negotiation activities and (forced) partnerships. It can be useful for for instance PhDs, academic institutes and policy-making (semi-) public authorities.

Information on the backgrounds of the research and the structure and contents of the database can be found in the code book
