In 2022, just under one fifth of Dutch employees were trade union members. Over half of survey respondents, 54 percent, who had not joined a trade union said they had never seriously consider becoming a member. Another 12.3 percent stated that membership for them was not useful, because trade unions lacked influence on their working conditions.
