Dutch term or phrase: Kaderleden

Hi all

I have found various translations for the above term (including 'executives', 'trade union representatives' and simply 'staff members') and am unsure which to use in the following context (from a chemical company intranet page):

'Voor meer details, verwijzen wij u naar de lijst van arbeiders, bedienden en kaderleden'

I would appreciate any advice you might have. Thanks in advance.

senior employees

Explanation:
My Legal Lexicon shows that this is the term used for kaderleden in the Flemish language, as I assume this is a Flemish text, judging from the word "bedienden".

Sorry, forgot to add, the Juridisch Lexicon (Van den End) gives as translation for the Belgian "Bond van bedienden, technici en kaderleden" (BBTK): "Union of Office Workers, Technicians and Senior Employees".
