fiktiv fagforening
Explanation:
Den fiktive fagforeningen er bare til for å sno seg rundt lover og regler. Arbeiderne vet ikke engang om den (eller at de er organisert i den) eller de vet om den, men det foregår ikke noe reelt fagforeningsarbeid i fagforeningen.

Asker: It is also called shadow union and is according to the client"well shadow union is actually established by companies in mexico as fake unions they can use for there own purposes like making demostration and then the company can claim they can pay out wages until that demostration is stopped, which is impossible because its not really the workers (real union) that is demostrating." :o)
