We dont have a minimum wage here in Denmark, yet fastfood workers get: 18usd an hour, 5 weeks paid vacation, maternity leave, pto for childs 1st sick day, 8% on top of sallary towards personal pension plan.
We have something similar in Sweden. Instead we have well established unions and negotiations that set salaries that even companies that aren’t formally part of the negotiation process follow. These are called collective agreements.
“In Sweden about 90 per cent of all employees are covered by collective agreements, in the private sector 83 per cent (2017). Collective agreements usually contain provisions concerning minimum wages. Sweden does not have statutory regulation of minimum wages or legislation on extension of collective agreements to unorganized employers.”
