Due to the failure of the negotiations about a new collective agreement for language centres with FOAS (the cooperation between adult education organisations and employers), the Teachers’ Central Organization has on December 13th, 2018, given notice of strike and boycott as of January 14th, 2019.

The boycott means that members of organisations that are part of the Teachers’ Central Organization – which includes the Teachers' Union for Danish Independent Schools – are not allowed to apply for jobs or take job offers that are covered by the collective agreement with FOAS as of Monday, January 14th.

Job offers that have been received and accepted before Monday, January 14th, will not be included in the boycott.

If the public conciliator chooses to postpone the conflict, the boycott will also be postponed.
