In Denmark, there is no legal minimum wage. But good wages and working conditions are secured through collective agreements, which the unions negotiate on your behalf.
A collective agreement outlines wages and employment conditions for a large group of workers and is negotiated between employers and employees. Without this protection, you may face lower pay, longer working hours, or miss out on special holidays and unemployment benefits - and more.
You deserve fair and supportive working conditions. By becoming a union member with 3F, Denmark’s largest union, you’ll have the support you need, whenever you need it.
- Make sure your pay and contract are in order: 3F will review your wages and employment contract to ensure you’re receiving the pay you’re entitled to.
