High degree of unionization (90%+), no state interference in negotiations between worker unions and employer unions, fixed term 4 year collective agreements, a broad understanding by both workers and employers that everyone has an interest in a strong economy and a flexible work market.
Also sometimes known as the Danish Model.
The state can of course intervene. Happens quite often when essential workers go on strike like medical workers, law enforcement and if teachers go on strike for too long.
So you can in theory go on an indefinite strike, but the state can swoop in an decide what the new number is. In Norway we can it "tvungen lønnsnemnd", which can be translated to "forced pay agreement".
Nobody wants this, but it happens. In some occupations more than others.
Sure, happens in Denmark too as the nurses and teachers are painfully aware of. But that's also (philosophically) a breach of the model, and usually only happens when the workers work for the government.
Yeah, like the sad case with the teachers a few years back. Confirmed my personal view that Rødt and maybe SV are the only parties I'd like to vote. AP really betrayed LO and the teacher's unions in general.
