This study provides information designed to aid sectoral social dialogue in the ports 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 analysis of the ports sector in the EU28 shows that ETF and IDC on the employee side and FEPORT and ESPO on the employer side ought to be regarded as the main EU-wide representatives of the sector’s workforce and businesses.
