The blue parties are no longer against the “worker shortage reform” proposed by the government. This means that the proposals we presented in an earlier edition of this newsletter will pass in the Danish Parliament. However, they still don’t support the idea of a higher unemployment rate in the first three months and a higher tax deduction for trade union membership fees. Also, they want non-EU workers to be able to obtain work permits on a smaller salary (under 375,000 dkk per year) with the exception of Muslim non-EU workers.
