It can be some difference between the same aggregates of the published absolute numbers due to the weighting and summing up. The evaluation of the distribution ratios was made electronically - without individual correction, so the sum of partial data is not always equal the displayed rounded value of the aggregated data.
The following questions of the questionnaire were linked to the part "Trade unions, strike events":
22. Is there a trade union at your workplace?
23. Are you a member of a trade union?
