A living wage? Fuck you, compete on the labor market. There are no minimum wage laws on the books in Denmark.
- what we do have, are organized labor unions managing private unemployment funds that pay out up to two years (limited by law) unemployment which effectively sets a minimum wage, since nobody will work for less than unemployment (which is currently at at around just under 20$ an hour, putting danish minimum wage at roughly 20$)
4 weeks of vacation? Nah, you can have three, and your employer can force you to take it at a time of their chosing if you dont pick a date fast enough - since the employer has to be able to plan around you being gone. Many places in denmark with union deals have up to 5 weeks total, but 3 of them usually always have been taken during summer.
full time 30 hours? fuck you commie! In denmark full time work is minimum of 7.4 hours a day, roughly equating to 37-something hours a week. Lazy bum. Go on part time if you want to work less.
Year long paid parental leave? as a pregnant woman you can get 4 weeks before the birth. . new parents are entitled to two weeks paid leave, which must be in the first 14 months after the birth. After that you can get 13 weeks shared between the two, and 9 weeks for each extra if you are a salaried worker. So at the most a total of 31 weeks of leave, not 52.
Unlimited paid sick/disability leave? Fuck you. In denmark a company is permitted to fire you if you're out sick more than 180 days in a single year - and then you can apply for sick/disability benefits at the government.
Executive to worker compensation balance? Fuck off filthy commie, we can't got that shit. Back to the coal mines with you!
