Yellow union overtakes 3F in membership, bricklayer fears for Danish model

New figures show the yellow union Det Faglige Hus has surpassed the major red union 3F in membership numbers, according to Danish broadcaster DR.

The development has alarmed self-employed bricklayer Mette Schak Dahlmann, who said she fears it could spell the end of the Danish labour market model if the trend continues.

Det Faglige Hus is considered a yellow, or non-affiliated, union, while 3F is one of the largest traditional trade unions in Denmark.
