A new three-year collective agreement for Danish electricians was reached on Sunday. Tekniq and the Danish Electrical Workers' Association wrote this in a press release.
- We managed to reach an agreement that both provides stability for the companies and addresses the challenge of securing more skilled workers, but also sets the standard for how we develop the industry in a more inclusive and flexible direction, says Troels Blicher Danielsen, CEO of Tekniq, in the press release.
The agreement covers 16,000 electricians, and it includes, among other things, better conditions for maternity leave for apprentices and an increase in the minimum wage.
Specifically, the minimum wage is to increase by 3.75 kroner in 2025 and 3.50 kroner in 2026 and 2027. Employers' pension contributions will also be increased. The agreement also means that there must be a joint effort for an inclusive workplace.
With the agreement, employees will also have increased opportunities to choose between salary or time off for overtime, and there must be greater flexibility in organizing the working day.
- The electricity industry must be a good place to work. And I am satisfied with our results regarding salary and different rates. At the same time, we have become clear about a common vision that more people should enter the electricity industry and more should become, both apprentices, trained electricians and technicians, says the chairman of the Danish Electrical Workers' Association, Benny Yssing, in the press release.
The agreement now needs to be voted on by the members.
The parties in a number of areas of the private labor market have agreed on new collective agreements in recent weeks. This applies to industry, construction, transport and the hotel and restaurant industry, among others.
