Abstract: The electricity sector is of fundamental importance to Dutch society and the economy. In consequence of the introduction of the market mechanisms the production and distribution of electricity have been delegated to the market since 2006. The network infrastructure has remained under state control. So far, the decrease in the number of employees has turned out to be lower than anticipated. Additionally, the organisation of the social partners has remained unchanged and the density is relatively high. Two sectoral collective agreements- one for the network infrastructure, the other for production and distribution - cover the two segments of the sector. The three unions involved – FNV Abvakabo, CNV Publieke Zaak and VMHP-N of the CMHP are accepted parties in collective bargaining as is the employer organisation WENb.
