CO-industri (The Central Organisation of Industrial Employees in Denmark

CO-industri (The Central Organisation of Industrial Employees in Denmark) was founded in 1992. The organization - which is an association of trade unions – was formed to look after common interests. Today, eight unions for employees in the industrial sector are united in the cartel CO-industri. CO-industri negotiates collective agreements with the employers in DI – Confederation of Danish Industry, in major areas: workers employed on a time-rate basis and administrative and technical workers employed on a salaried basis in industry. Further, CO-industri has entered into collective agreements with a number of industrial enterprises outside DI – Confederation of Danish Industry. The agreements concern pay systems, working time, holidays, days off, maternity leave, pay during illness, pension, education and training, rules of employment and notice, shift and night work, mental health and safety at work etc. (http://co-industri.dk)
