salaried industrial employees' agreement
Explanation:
On the site of Co-Industri (Central Organiation of Industrial Employees in Denmark), I found this:

In 1995, CO-industri entered into a salaried employees' agreement with DI (Funktionæroverenskomsten). This is characterised as a framework agreement containing general guidelines for the determination of wages but without setting the concrete wage rates, although it does stipulate provisions for minimum wages for apprentices and trainees.

(DI is the Confederation of Danish Industries)

agree  KirstyMacC (X): industrial should be in there somewhere. 'White-collar v. blue-collar' is perhaps out of favour for salaried employees v. manual labourers/workers.
