The United Federation of Workers in Denmark (Danish: Fagligt Fælles Forbund, 3F) is a Danish labor union.

The union was formed in 2004, from the merger of the Danish Women Workers' Union and the Danish General Workers' Union.[1] In 2006, the Restaurant Trade Union merged in to 3F,[2] while, at the start of 2011, it was joined by the Danish Timber Industry and Construction Workers' Union.[3]

The 3F was an affiliate of the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions, and since 2019 has been a member of its successor, the Danish Trade Union Confederation (FH). By the end of 2018, its membership had declined to 226,271, but it remained the largest affiliate of FH.[4] [5]
