Refusing to sign a collective agreement is a completely tone-deaf approach to conducting a business in Sweden.&lt;p&gt;For instance, Sweden does not have a legal minimum wage - this is all done by collective agreements. Nine out of ten employees work under a collective agreement.</text></comment>

While it&amp;#x27;s not as common in tech, industries like car manufacturing are almost completely covered.</text></comment>
