An unemployment benefit account that is associated with the "Kristelig Fagforening" (Christian Trade Union). You can be a member of this without the being a member of the actual union. To be entitled to receive unemployment benefit you have to have paid money to a "A-kasse". This is just one of many Denmark.

A-Kasse translates into unemployment insurance, an alternative to social welfare's unemployment checks, which pay less.
I do not see a definite form for Christian in the source term, but if it is meant to be definite, then add the ahead of 'christian'.
