The Workers' Union (Faroese: Verkamannafylkingin, VMF) was a political party in the Faroe Islands.

History

The party won three seats in the 1994 elections,[1] taken by Óli Jacobsen [fo], Kristian Magnussen [fo] and Ingeborg Vinther. It joined the governing coalition, with Jacobsen (1994–1995 and March–May 1998), Axel H. Nolsøe [fo] (1995–1996) and Magnussen (1996–1998) serving as Ministers.[2] However, it lost all three seats in the 1998 elections, when it received just 215 votes.[1]
