Danish Municipal Workers' Union
The Danish Municipal Workers' Union ( da, Dansk Kommunalarbejder Forbunds, DKF) was a trade union representing local government workers in Denmark. The union was established on 19 March 1899 by 47 workers, as the Copenhagen Municipal Workers' Union. In 1920, it began recruiting members across the country, and adopted its final name. In its early years, the union frequently came into conflict with the Danish General Workers' Union, which wished to organised members by their grade of work, rather than by employer. As a result, the DKF was not initially permitted to affiliate to the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions. In 1964, it changed its name again, becoming the Public Employees' Union - Danish Municipal Workers' Union, and for the first time accepted other public sector workers into membership. By 1991, the union had 119,444 members, of whom 5% worked on local transport. 81% of members were women. From the 1980s, changes in the health and social care sectors led the union ...

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.

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: Dan ...

FOA (trade Union)
The FOA (from da, Forbundet af Offenligt Ansatte) is a trade union representing public sector workers in Denmark. History The union was established in December 1992, when the Danish Municipal Workers' Union merged with the Homeworkers' Union, forming the Union of Public Employees (FOA). Changes in the health and social care sectors in Denmark had led to the two unions competing for the same members, and the merger intended to remove this competition. Initially, it had four sectors: social and health care, cooking and cleaning, technology and service, and education. Like its predecessors, the FOA affiliated to the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions (LO), becoming its third largest member.

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 product ...
