part of SEIFSA. We expect many more to do
so in the weeks and months to come. These
companies are joining some of the existing
SEIFSA-affiliated Associations, while others are
planning to form new Associations that will be
affiliated with SEIFSA. We expect at least 300 of
these companies (60%) to continue to be part of
the SEIFSA family. Collectively, these companies
employ by far the vast majority of employees
within that Association.
Many companies want to remain within SEIFSA
for many reasons, apart from the fact that most
of them have had a strong, productive association
with the Federation over the years (in the case
of some companies, for longer than 50 years).
They know that, unlike any other employer
organization in the sector, SEIFSA has unequalled
experience in collective bargaining, employs
qualified and experienced subject-matter
experts in a number of Divisions (e.g. Economics
and Commercial; Industrial Relations and Legal
Services; Human Capital and Skills Development;
Safety, Health, Environment and Quality, etc.)
and offers a series of important products and
services (like the unique SEIFSA Prices and Index
Pages) which they access at a discounted price.
