When you work in Denmark, it’s important that you’re paid the wages you deserve and treated fairly. In Denmark, there is no legal minimum wage: 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 work hours, 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 that you’re receiving the pay you’re entitled to.
• Legal support: Our experts in labor conditions can provide legal assistance, and if necessary, we’ll take your case to court – free of charge.
• Help for international workers: 3F has extensive experience assisting foreign workers in Denmark. If you need an interpreter for a meeting with your employer about wages or other work issues, we’ve got it covered.
• Member benefits and savings: As a member, you can also get discounted private insurance through Alka. On average, 3F members save DKK 3,000 on insurance premiums.
