FTF – Confederation of Professionals in Denmark (Danish: FTF) was founded in 1952 and is an umbrella organisation (one of the three national trade union centers) for 86 Danish trade unions.
The FTF has a membership of 450,000 and cooperates with the two other Danish trade union centers, i.e. the AC – The Danish Confederation of Professional Associations and the LO, The Danish Confederation of Trade Unions.
Members of the 86 trade unions of the FTF are typically employees with a higher education and an academic degree (e.g. a bachelor's degree or a master's degree) or a first professional degree. Some members don't have a higher education but a vocational education ("white-collar workers"). A typical FTF-member occupies a middle or upper middle position in society as regards salary and pension benefits. Many FTF-members are leaders.
FTF-members are e.g. pharmaconomists, journalists, medical laboratory scientists, teachers, bank employees, physical therapists, businesspersons, actors, dental hygienists, police officers, podiatrists, engineers, nurses, stage directors, social workers, radiographers etc.
