Graphics Federation
The Graphics Federation ( da, Grafisk Forbund, GF) was a trade union representing workers in the graphics and printing industries in Denmark. For many years, the three main printing industry unions in Denmark, the Danish Bookbinders' and Stationers' Union, Danish Lithographers' Union and Danish Typographical Union, collaborated through a joint "Graphics Cartel" in the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions (LO). In 1980, the three nearly agreed a merger, but the Lithographers withdrew and both the merger and the cartel collapsed. In 1990, a new Graphics and Media Cartel in LO was established by the three printing unions, and the Media Association, which represented photographers. This quickly achieved negotiating agreements with the Graphic Employers' Association and the Danish Newspapers' Union Negotiating Organisation. This success led, at the start of 1993, to the merger of the four unions into the new "Graphics Federation". As of 1997, the union had 22,987 members,{{cite book ...

Trade Union
A trade union (labor union in American English), often simply referred to as a union, is an organization of workers intent on "maintaining or improving the conditions of their employment", ch. I such as attaining better wages and benefits (such as holiday, health care, and retirement), improving working conditions, improving safety standards, establishing complaint procedures, developing rules governing status of employees (rules governing promotions, just-cause conditions for termination) and protecting the integrity of their trade through the increased bargaining power wielded by solidarity among workers. Trade unions typically fund their head office and legal team functions through regularly imposed fees called ''union dues''. The delegate staff of the trade union representation in the workforce are usually made up of workplace volunteers who are often appointed by members in democratic elections. The trade union, through an elected leadership and bargaining committee, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Danish Typographical Union
The Danish Typographical Union ( da, Dansk Typograf-Forbund) was a trade union representing typographers in Denmark. The Typographical Association was founded in 1869, focusing its attention on discussions on the development of the trade, and establishing a library for members, in Copenhagen. In 1874, it launched a magazine, the ''Typograf-Tidende''. Frederik Klüglein argued that the union should also take up questions of pay and working conditions, but the union's leader, R. P. Jensen, was initially uninterested. In 1876, Jensen did lead a strike for improved pay but, without links to other labour movement organisations, the union was unable to sustain the action. The strike was lost, members of the union fell below 100, and Jensen resigned. In 1880, the Jutland Typographical Association was established, soon expanding to become the Danish Typographical Association, covering all the country except Copenhagen. It jointly adopted the Copenhagen union's magazine, but in 1885, a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Danish General Workers' Union
The Danish General Workers' Union ( da, Specialarbejderforbundet i Danmark, SID) was a general union representing mostly unskilled and semi-skilled workers, in Denmark. History The union was founded in 1897 as the Danish Workers' Union (DA), becoming the Danish Workers' and Specialist Workers' Union (DASF) in 1959, then in 1974 adopted its final name. It organised workers who were considered unskilled, or semi-skilled, in industries where the most skilled workers were represented by other unions. This sometimes led to conflict, as it argued that the lowest-paid workers should receive the highest wage increases, to reduce pay differentials. Over the years, numerous smaller unions have merged in to the Metalworkers' union. These include: * 1934: Danish Land Workers' Union * 1971: Danish Glass Workers' Union * 1972: Danish Gardeners' Union * 1973: Danish Paviours' Union * 1978: Danish Drivers' Union * 1983: Paper Industry Workers' Union * 1988: Ceramic Confederation * 1994: Dani ...

Printing Trade Unions
Printing is a process for mass reproducing text and images using a master form or template. The earliest non-paper products involving printing include cylinder seals and objects such as the Cyrus Cylinder and the Cylinders of Nabonidus. The earliest known form of printing as applied to paper was woodblock printing, which appeared in China before 220 AD for cloth printing. However, it would not be applied to paper until the seventh century.Shelagh Vainker in Anne Farrer (ed), "Caves of the Thousand Buddhas", 1990, British Museum publications, Later developments in printing technology include the movable type invented by Bi Sheng around 1040 AD and the printing press invented by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century. The technology of printing played a key role in the development of the Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution and laid the material basis for the modern knowledge-based economy and the spread of learning to the masses.

Trade Unions In Denmark
Trade involves the transfer of goods and services from one person or entity to another, often in exchange for money. Economists refer to a system or network that allows trade as a market. An early form of trade, barter, saw the direct exchange of goods and services for other goods and services, i.e. trading things without the use of money. Modern traders generally negotiate through a medium of exchange, such as money. As a result, buying can be separated from selling, or earning. The invention of money (and letter of credit, paper money, and non-physical money) greatly simplified and promoted trade. Trade between two traders is called bilateral trade, while trade involving more than two traders is called multilateral trade. In one modern view, trade exists due to specialization and the division of labour, a predominant form of economic activity in which individuals and groups concentrate on a small aspect of production, but use their output in trades for other products a ...
