    That’s why the different companies sit down together with the union and discuss what’s the absolute lowest reasonable pay.

    That’s interesting, we call that collusion and it’s illegal here.

      Yes, but I’ve also heard unions being called maffia so I think they somewhat cancel each other out. =)

      Workers band toghether in unions and companies band together in employer organization and they together say what is best for each sector. A single company is too small to deal with the unions similar to how a single employee is to small to deal with the company. To set the rules for an entire sector of the labor market you need everyone to be involved.

      And the companies don’t really collude together other then when they are dealing with the unions.

      Then both unions and employer organisations band together into LO and Svenskt Näringsliv to be big enough to deal with the government.
