Chapter 1
Organisational matters
Article 1 Admission of new members
The following rules apply to enterprises joining the Danish Construction
Association (Dansk Byggeri):
New members covered by other collective agreements
1. Enterprises which have previously been covered by other collective
agreements and are admitted as members of the Danish Construc-
tion Association become subject to the Danish Construction Associ-
ation’s collective agreements three months after the union has been
informed of the enterprise’s membership of the Danish Construction
Association.
2. In this connection, adaptation negotiations are opened according to
general industrial practice in order to adapt local agreements in
conjunction with the transition to a new collective agreement.
Adaptation negotiations
3. When the union learns that an enterprise has become subject to a
collective agreement under the Danish Construction Association,
the union may request that a meeting of the organisations be held;
see Article 50, paragraph 16. The purpose of the meeting of the or-
ganisations is to explore the possibilities of how the employees may
fit into the existing collective agreement in order to comply with its
rules and to allow the parties to the collective agreement to ac-
quaint themselves with the existing pay and employment conditions
for the employees.
4. During the adaptation negotiations, existing pay and employment
conditions may be documented.
New members covered by accession agreements
5. Accession agreements in force in enterprises admitted as members
of the Danish Construction Association after 1 March 2004 apply for
up to three months after the union has been informed in writing
about the membership of the Danish Construction Association.
8
Subsequently, the Danish Construction Association’s collective
agreement in the area concerned will apply.
6. On the enterprise's resignation from the Danish Construction Asso-
ciation, the accession agreement is re-activated, unless the enter-
prise becomes subject to another collective agreement through its
membership of an organisation under the umbrella of the Confeder-
ation of Danish Employers (Dansk Arbejdsgiverforening).
Members of Tekniq
7. The collective agreement does not apply to enterprises whose heat-
ing, sanitation and plumbing departments are members of the Con-
federation of Danish Installers (Tekniq).
Rigger work
The collective agreement does not apply to machine factories and
workshops belonging to enterprises that are also members of the
Confederation of Danish Industries (Dansk Industri – DI).
