Danish Union of Metalworkers

The Danish Union of Metalworkers (, Metal) is a trade union in Denmark. It principally represents workers in the metal industries, but also covers telecommunications, transportation and some other sectors.
The union was founded in 1888, as the Danish Blacksmith and Machine Workers' Association. It became the "Danish Union of Metalworkers" in 1972.
Over the years, numerous smaller unions have merged in to the Metalworkers' union. These include:
The union was long affiliated to the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions (LO), and for many years was its third-largest affiliate. Following LO's merger, in 2019, it is now affiliated to it successor, the Danish Trade Union Confederation (FH). It has also been affiliated to the European Metalworkers' Federation and the International Metalworkers' Federation, now part of the IndustriALL Global Union.
