Denmark

these
are your work rights:
You have the right to join a trade union. Your trade union
can assist you in case of disputes over pay and working
conditions
- but only if you are a member. Most employees in Den-
mark are members of a union. There are different trade
unions to choos from. Which union you can join will de-
pend on your job function. If you are a student, is almost
free to be a member.

If you are a member of the trade union, then you can get
help to validate the legitimacy of your work contract in
order to avoid being exploited. Always take the work con-
tract to the union before you sign it. If you are in a con-
tract where you get paid under 90kr per hour, or you work
unpaid overtime, or you have terrible working conditions,
immediately contact your union representative.

Why YOU should vote?
The only way local politicians will speak for YOUR issues
in the City Council or Regional Council is if you vote. The
more people with the same issue vote, then the higher the
chance for that issue to be discussed and resolved. Voting
will make you visible to the decision-makers, whom will ac-
tually try to convince you to vote for them, in exchange of
various promises, that can make your life more enjoyable
in the local society.

The story of
Louis Pio
Louis Albert Franois Pio (18411894) was
one of the principal founders of the orga-
nized workers movement in Denmark, and
the principal founder of the Danish Social
Democratic Party. His heritage is a combi-
nation of immigrant (French) and Nordjyl-
land background.
The start that lead to the creation of the
welfare society in Denmark (one of the best
in the world) has been sparked by an immi-
grant descendent. This is a clear example
on how YOU can as well influence or make
a contribution to the local society. Not only
that YOU would make your life better, but
you could also leave your mark forever on
the Danish society.
