Denmark: the blockade at the Valbi construction site settled with collective agreements signed for the posted Polish workers

Winning blockade. The massive mobilization from unemployment members of 3 F Bygge, Jord og Miljøarbejdernes Fagforening (BJMF) and of other LO unions who refused to work or to deliver equipment to the Valby construction site (Copenhagen), therefore blocking construction since August 29, finally made employers cave and agree to sign a collective agreement for the approximately 12 Polish employees posted on the site (see our dispatch No. 090852). After two days of negotiations and mediation from the sector’s employers’ association, Dansk Byggeri, Tomis Construction Enterprise, the Polish subcontractor, and Trekroner Penthouses Aps, the Danish promoter, signed two collective agreements with the BJMF and Byggefagenes Sammenslutning unions on September 23. they state that the Polish workers will be subject to Danish rules defined in the sector’s collective agreements.
