Danish Shoemakers' Union

The Danish Shoemakers' Union (Danish: Dansk Skotøjsarbejderforbundet, DSF) was a trade union representing workers in the shoemaking industry in Denmark.

The union was founded in 1885.[1] It later affiliated to the Danish Confederation of Trade Unions (LO), and in 1931 was the federation's only affiliate to vote against accepting wage cuts. This led it to undertake a three-month strike without support from the federation.[2]

By 1954, the union had 6,042 members.[1] In 1983, it merged into the Danish Clothing and Textile Workers' Union.[3]
