Once upon a time …

Nice to know – ”the Danish model”• In Denmark union density is one of the highest in the world, about 70

%, and most workers are members of a trade union. With about 278,000 mainly blue-collar members, 3F is Denmark's largest.

• The Danish Craft is an employers’ organization for approximately 1000 contracting and manufacturing companies within the Danish building and construction sector.

• There is a long tradition of trade unions and employers’ organizations working together regarding several issues in order to develop the industries.
