The union section for the transport sector of 3F (United Federation of Danish Workers) and employers in DI (Confederation of Danish Industry) on Thursday 23 February agreed to renew the collective agreement for warehouse and transport employees. It is the first standard wage settlement in the 2012 round of bargaining, in which standard wages are established at central bargaining level between DI and the unions. The agreement (with a duration till 1 March 2014) focuses on perspectives aimed at strengthening the chances of increasing overall competence and productivity. The deal enables older employees to reduce the number of working days and includes provisions on increasing the qualifications of the employees.
