EU Minimum Wage Directive Ruling on the Horizon
Denmark challenged it, saying it violates EU treaties by regulating pay.
Directive targets countries with <80% collective-bargaining coverage; Denmark has 82%.
Advocate General supported Denmark, but many EU countries backed the Commission.
Experts warn the ruling could weaken EU social rights.
Christina Hiessl called the outcome a 'political earthquake.'. Nordic model of collective bargaining clashes with the directive.
Danish public views wage as sacred.
