A pillar of the welfare society

The organization work to further develop the Danish welfare society. The trade union movement constitutes one of its pillars.

The ability of workers and employers to negotiate on pay- and working conditions is crucial to the success of the Danish model where a strong economy goes hand in hand with a high level of security.

We stand guard over our strong bargaining system whereby collective agreements ensure a good working life and good wages. The Danish labour market model is simply a prerequisite for the welfare society that we know and love.

Among other things, this is done through active lobbying in the form of tripartite negotiations with the government and the employers as well as participation in a long line of councils and committees – both at the international, European, national, regional and local levels.
