The Hlíf Trade Union says in a statement that the fight of Efling Union, Eining-Iðja, and other labor movements against the pseudo-union Virðing is the fight of the entire labor movement against social dumping and yellow unions. The Hlíf Board wholeheartedly supports that fight.
Statement by the Board of the Hlíf Trade Union
Pseudo-unions, such as Virðing, are explicitly established to undermine the rights and conditions of workers. By their dominant position, some employers force their employees to sign employment contracts that include reductions in the conditions and rights stipulated in the collective agreements between employers and unions with bargaining power in the relevant field.
The board of the Hlíf Trade Union rejects such actions and wholeheartedly supports the actions of Efling, Eining-Iðja, and other unions that are fighting against yellow unions. Their fight is the fight of the entire labor movement against social dumping and so-called yellow unions.
