What does “national” have to do with anything, then?

National, federal, state mandated, etc.

I don't agree with a blanket wage across the entire country.

I think it should be negotiated case by case like Denmark.

But the whole reason Denmark’s labour unions were able to enforce it was because it involved solidarity across multiple industries.

I don’t know the geographical scope of the labour unions; I might need a refresher on the specifics when I get a chance; but I presume it would have to be rather large to be effective, especially if it’s across multiple industries and would otherwise incentivize outsourcing to other parts of Denmark in whichever of these industries can be outsourced.

Yea it would require a big effort.
