Facts

The Council of Nordic Trade Unions, NFS, is a confederation of 16 central trade unions from the Nordic countries. Together they represent nine million academics, civil servants and workers.

The NFS was founded in 1972, with the aim of creating closer cooperation between Nordic trade unions. The NFS leadership meets twice a year and has a rotating presidency which is held by a representative from the country that holds the Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers. At the moment that representative is Ragnhild Lied from Norwegian Unio. From 2018, when Sweden takes over the Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers, Karl-Petter Thorwaldsson from Swedish LO will be President of the NFS.

The NFS also works internationally within four areas: The Nordics, Baltic cooperation, European cooperation and globally, including on issues relating to the International Trade Union Confederation, the ILO and the OECD.
