Denmark - Agreement public sector - May 31, 2018

 The ongoing labour dispute in the public sector (see our March and April newsletters) has come to a positive conclusion. The collective bargaining process that started December 2017 resulted in an agreement with the trade unions that met most of their demands. The unions, representing 180,000 state workers and around 500,000 municipality workers, were demanding an 8.2% pay rise over 3 years.
