Trade unions
Your terms of employment are regulated by collective agreements determined by the trade unions and the employer’s associations.

The trade unions act and negotiate on the employees’ behalf to secure you and your colleagues the best possible salary level and working conditions.

Being a member of a trade union is very common in Denmark and can provide you with a series of employment- and career-related legal support and services you may need e.g. guidance regarding individual employment contract, salary, industrial accidents and injuries. There is not a law regarding minimum wages in Denmark, so the collective agreements are important. Please note that you will be covered by the collective agreement whether you are a member of a union or not.

What are the advantages of being a union member?
- Negotiations of wages and contracts
- Mediation of conflicts at the workplace (unions are bound to discretion)
- Pension and employment funds
- Courses and workshops (many free of charge)
- Bargains on bank accounts, insurance, and holiday homes
