The trade union 3F and the Danish Industry have reached an agreement for the next two years. However, the agreement still needs to be voted on by the union members before it can go into effect.
- 165,000 people work in the construction sector.
- The minimum salary will increase by 4.5 DKK per hour in 2023 and 2024.
- Pension contribution distribution will change as the worker will pay 2% less which will be covered by the company.
- 1.8% more in the “fritvalgsordning”.
- For newcomers to Denmark, their salary will increase by 25 DKK per hour for the first four months of working in construction. If they are not offered “decent accommodation” during that time, then the salary increase will continue for 12 months.
- If the national collective agreement is approved then the workers will also be able to negotiate locally for even more money in salary raise.
