In this episode of What Are You Doing in Denmark, Derek and Brooke dig into a labor showdown you’ve probably never heard of: McDonald's versus Danish unions in the 1980s. What happens when a fast-food giant tries to bypass some of the best worker protections in the world? Let’s just say Denmark had a few surprises up its sleeve and McDonald's wasn't lovin' it. Come for the 80's nostalgia and stay for the rarely shared story of this David vs. Goliath battle that reshaped McDonald's in Denmark—and what it means for Danish fast food today.

Don’t forget to share this podcast with any friends who have made the move to Denmark.
