A shop xxxxxxx who enters into an agreement on education with the enterprise accord- ing to the Danish Act on Vocational Education and Training (adult apprentices) may continue as a shop xxxxxxx. However, it is a condition that during the duration of train- eeship, the shop xxxxxxx works together with his/her election basis. The position of shop xxxxxxx will cease to exist if the shop xxxxxxx was elected during a period with a large number of employees and the number of employees has been re- duced to less than five for a period of three months, unless both parties wish to main- tain the position of shop xxxxxxx. If the employer does not wish to maintain the position of shop xxxxxxx after the three months, the employer must notify DI in writing. This notice must immediately be for- warded to NNF. At enterprises with less than five employees, a shop xxxxxxx may be elected if the par- ties so agree. Within the meaning of this provision, "enterprise" means a geographically limited unit.

Different staff groups may agree to have a shared chief shop xxxxxxx or shop xxxxxxx for the whole company. The scope of authority of elected shop stewards must be appropriate and sufficiently broad to allow for the handling of matters according to the negotiation protocol. Only employees with employment contracts that are valid until further notice are eligible. Elections should be arranged so that the arrangement does not disrupt work at the com- pany and so that all salaried employees have the opportunity to participate. Practical ar- rangements are agreed on locally.
