union and employer's representatives
Explanation:
Assuming this is a German context (might be different in Austria etc.), Sozialpartner refers to the organisations of employees and employers, i.e. unions and employers' associations. The representatives of both that exist at least in larger companies are called betriebliche Sozialpartner.
