Compared with the situation in 2003, the position of employer organisations has not changed. There still are three national peak associations - VNO-NCW, MKB-Nederland and LTO-Nederland - which still represent the same types of companies.

These sectoral agreements are usually extended; they cover the labour conditions of more than 90% of employees.
