abstract: The regional organizations and operations of the FNV, a Dutch labor union, is explored, considering there is a regional variation in union membership. Interviews show that the FNV increased its regional presence, by developing its regional organization and position in the regional labor market infrastructure. This increases visibility to (potential) members, after decreasing membership numbers. Decentralization and regional funding have increased the importance of regional organization governance, to improve comprehensive wellbeing of members. Existing regional identities aid the development of activities and visibility, to counteract centralization of the organization in the Randstad. Additionally, the regional organization allows for cross-sectoral collaboration.
