- Alternative trade union strongest in Denmark
-
In 2002, Denmark's centre-right government decided to allow interdisciplinary unemployment benefit schemes. This allowed alternative – or "yellow" – trade unions to establish themselves, which weakened traditional trade unions and the unemployment benefit schemes, especially where LO was concerned.
The alternative trade unions' membership numbers on 31 December 2021:
- Kristelig Fagforening /Krifa 114.596
- Bedst tog Billigst (2B) – Det Faglige Hus 77.879
- ASE Lønmodtagere (fd JOBtryghet) 62.370
- Funktionærkartellet /Teknikerssammenslutningen – Det Faglige Hus 19.629
- Frie Funktionærer 18.536
- Fagforeningen Danmark – Det Faglige Hus 57.295
- Total 350.305
