Dines Jensen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dines Jensen (born January 22, 1850 , † August 25, 1939 ) was a Norwegian trade unionist .

Jensen was after Hans G. Jensen the second chairman of the Norwegian trade union federation ( Landsorganisasjonen i Norge ) and led the union from 1900 to 1901. He was a member of the Norwegian woodworkers' union ( Norsk Trearbeiderforbund ) and from 1895 and 1903 its chairman. His union was one of the founding unions of the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions.

The dual office led to certain loyalty problems. When the cabinet makers went on strike between 1900 and 1901, the majority of the secretariat of the Norwegian Trade Union Confederation decided not to intervene. He then resigned from this office.
