This study provides information allowing for an assessment of the representativeness of the organisations involved in the European sectoral social dialogue committee for the footwear sector. Their relative representativeness legitimises their right to be consulted and their capacity to negotiate agreements. The aim of Eurofound’s studies on representativeness is to identify the relevant national and European social partner organisations in the sector. This study identifies industriAll Europe, representing trade unions, and the European Footwear Confederation, representing employers, as the most representative European level social partner organisations in the footwear sector.
