Representativeness of the European social partner organisations: Extractive industries sector

This study provides information designed to encourage sectoral social dialogue in the extractive industries sector. The aim of Eurofound’s series of representativeness studies is to identify the relevant national and supranational social partner organisations in the field of industrial relations in selected sectors. Top-down and bottom-up analyses of the extractive industries sector in the EU28 covered in the study show that IndustriALL Europe, Euromines, EURACOAL, IMA Europe and UEPG are the most important European level social partner organisations in the sector. The contribution of APEP to the collective representativeness is limited to three companies, each of which are also affiliated to members of Euromines.
