Slight increase in trade union members

National associations for wage earners had 1 637 000 members as at 31 December 2009; an increase of 15 000 from 2008.

About 93 per cent of all union members belong to one of the four large main associations, compared with 87 per cent 10 years ago.

Employers' associations

There were only minor changes in membership figures for employers’ associations compared to the previous year.

About the statistical basis

The statistics cover employers' associations, national associations for wage earners and the umbrella organisations to which the individual organisations belong. Organisations that limit their activities to purely professional issues are not included in the statistics. The number of members in national associations for wage earners includes all registered members and thus also includes non-working students, pensioners etc. The statistics cover the number of members as at 31 December 2009.
