Understanding the Danish Model – A workshop for Internationals + plus food

How does the Danish labor system actually work - and who’s really looking out for you? 🤔 What’s the real difference between unions like 3F and Det Faglige Hus?

Join us for a hands-on, eye-opening workshop with Jakob Mathiassen, a long-time union activist and organizer with 20+ years of experience, especially around migrant workers’ rights. Jakob will unpack how the labor system is structured, why it functions the way it does, and what that means for you as a worker in Denmark.
