Homeworkers' Union

The Homeworkers' Union (Danish: Husligt Arbejder Forbund, HAF) was a trade union representing social and health workers in Denmark.

The union was established on 15 November 1899 by about 30 women, as the Copenhagen Maids' Union, on the initiative of Marie Christensen.

[3] In 1936, the Union for Home Aid and Porters at the State Hospitals merged into the union, and it thereafter also recruited men, and domestic staff in hospitals.

[6] From the 1980s, changes in the health and social care sectors led the union to compete for members with the Danish Municipal Workers' Union.

In December 1992, the two merged, to form the Union of Public Employees (FOA).
