Trade union representatives More rights for union representatives, including during salary negotiations Trade union representatives will have stronger tools than currently, so that they have better opportunities to bring home good results in local wage negotiations. Insight will be provided into the business’s finances, as well as better opportunities for collective real wage negotiations. The new agreement also provides better access to choosing a trade union repre - sentative. In future, the requirement for the minimum number of organised emplo - yees needed before a trade union representative can be elected will be reduced from 6 to 5. The agreement also gives trade union representatives better opportunities and more rights to organise – thereby strengthening the Danish model. Specifically, it provides trade union representatives the opportunity to meet with newly-hired col - leagues during working hours. + Functional pay Entitlement to a 3-month review when employed with a functional pay agreement Employees who are newly employed by companies and who agree upon a functional salary are entitled to a review after 3 months about the content of the role and the scope of the work. New rules for night work The Parties agree that from now on employees may only have 3 night shifts in a row, only work 9 hours at a time and there must be at least 11 hours between 2 shifts. There are also special recommendations for pregnant women. From now on, it will be discussed with the local partners locally at the company whether the recommendations are lived up to. If, based on such discussions, it is assessed that the recommendations are not complied with, a number of special activities will be initiated. Education and training Access to professional study programmes Employees who wish to pursue a professional study programme within one of the areas covered by the collective agreement are entitled to 5 weeks of liberty per year for a period of up to 3 years. This requires that the employee is at least 25 years old and has 4 years of seniority in an area covered by the collective agreement, of which 2 must be at the current company. 100% salary cover for self-chosen education and training The right to full pay during an education programme of choice is made perma - nent. Opportunity to appoint an education and training representative at the workplace If the company and union representative agree, there can be appointed a common education and training representative at the company who can assist employees with education and training based on the provisions of the collective agreement and be part of creating an overview of where in the company trainees can be taught.
