A strike at Carlsberg was called off this morning after the brewer was given the right yesterday to fire the 130 striking employees unless they returned to work.
The employees stopped working last week on Wednesday after a new employee refused to join their union, 3F.
But the labour courts found that the nine-day strike broke their union’s collective bargaining agreement and this morning the employees decided to return to work.
The strike has had a serious impact on production of soda and keg beer with Carlsberg reporting that it had sold out its reserve stock this Wednesday.
“Now we have to start planning our production so that we can recover many of the products that were sold out,” Carlsberg's communications director, Jens Bekke, told Ritzau.
Following the labour court’s ruling, the employees have been fined 65 kroner an hour for each day they went on strike.
