Do McDonald's workers in Denmark make the equivalent of $22 U.S. per hour? Can they live well on that? (leddit.danmark.party)

There's a meme being debated right now that says McDonald's workers in Denmark make $22 U.S. per hour plus they have 6 weeks of vacation.

Is this accurate? U.S. McDonald's workers make much less than this.

Can you work at a fast food place like McDonald's and have a decent standard of living?

Yes, I worked at McDonald’s in Frederiksberg for over a year when I first came to Denmark. Even took my year-long maternity leave through them. They also sign you up to Pension/Sygesikring Danmark, which is one of the more popular supplementary insurance programs here.

Things like vacation time, parental leave, sick days, pension are negotiated by the work unions (of which the vast majority of workers in Denmark are members of). There are some big unions that specialise in certain industries (NNF focuses on bakery/deli/butchers and similar, Horesta is McDonald’s union and they also represent hotel/restaurant/tourism) so they negotiate with the employers’ unions (yes they also have their own unions) to get better terms for the employees. NNF is currently having problems with Coop on new terms for the contract period so my fellow bakery folk are stressing out right now.

Just for some insight I guess.

We're way past due for another national strike any way.

Personally I hope the members of the governmental unions will reject the 8.8% agreement.
