Danish Bookbinders' and Stationers' Union

Last updated

The Danish Bookbinders' and Stationers' Union (Danish : Dansk Bogbinder og Kartonnagearbejder Forbund) was a trade union representing bookbinders and workers involved in making stationery in Denmark.

The union was founded in 1895 and it soon affiliated to the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions, [1] and also to the International Federation of Bookbinders and Kindred Trades. [2] By 1954, the union had 7,122 members. [3]

In 1962, the union formed the Graphic Workers' Cartel with the Danish Lithographers' Union, and the Danish Typographical Union. However, this loose federation made no progress, and in 1965, the typographers resigned from the LO and the cartel. They rejoined LO in 1971, forming a new Graphics Cartel in 1972, but again this ran into disputes, and was dissolved in 1980. Finally, in 1990, the bookbinders, lithographers, typographers and the Media Federation formed a Graphic Industry and Media Cartel. In 1993, the four unions merged, to form the new Graphics Federation. [4] [5]

The Swedish Trade Union Confederation, commonly referred to as LO, is a national trade union centre, an umbrella organisation for fourteen Swedish trade unions that organise mainly "blue-collar" workers. The Confederation, which gathers around 1.5 million employees out of Sweden's 10 million people population, was founded in 1898 by blue-collar unions on the initiative of the 1897 Scandinavian Labour Congress and the Swedish Social Democratic Party, which almost exclusively was made up by trade unions. In 2019 union density of Swedish blue-collar workers was 60%, a decline by seventeen percentage points since 2006 when blue-collar union density was 77%. A strong contributing factor was the considerably raised fees to union unemployment funds in January 2007 made by the new centre-right government.

Trade unions in Norway first emerged with the efforts of Marcus Thrane and the formation of the Drammen Labour Union in 1848 which organised agricultural workers and crofters. However, with Thrane's imprisonment and the suppression of the union in 1855, it was not until 1872 before a union was founded again, by print workers. In 1899 the first national federation, the LO, was founded. During this period interactions with trade unions in Denmark and Sweden played a great influence over the development of trade unions in Norway.
