Working in Denmark

In Denmark the majority of workers are members of a trade union. Union density is one of the highest in the world. 

Your Danish colleagues expect you to be a member of a trade union. 

3F is Denmark's largest and most powerful trade union and unemployment fund. 3F secures better wage and working conditions for its members. We have collective agreements at more work places than any other Danish trade union. 

If you do not join 3F when you gain employment in Denmark, then you could risk being cheated and being underpaid. 

3F are there for you when you need help

• 3F will check your wages and your employment contract and tell you whether you are paid the wages you are entitled to.
• 3F will provide legal assistance from our experts within the field of working conditions. If necessary, we take your case to court – free of charge.
• 3F has considerable experience in helping foreigners working in Denmark. We provide interpreters if a meeting with your employer about wages or other work-related issues at your place of work is required.

Through 3F, you will get any private insurance with Alka at a discount. On average, 3F members will save DKK 3,000 on insurance premiums.
