Temporary job in Sweden/ Tillfälligt jobb i Sverige

For you to have the best possible conditions, it is important that all employees in Sweden observe the rules of labour law. In Sweden it is, among others, the trade unions that make sure that this happens. They ensure that an employer who has an agreement with the trade union cannot pay a lower wage than that which is in the agreement. It is therefore common for representatives from the trade union to pay a visit to your workplace and help you if you feel that you have a problem.
