I agree with the sentiment - but it's not the workers nor the union that's responsible for those shitty conditions. Also, when companies in Sweden hire workers from other countries at lower pay, the unions will protest. And try to raise the newly hired non-Swede's wage to the Swedish standard.

The same people, the same companies treat employees as disposable assets if they only smell they can do it without consequences... and they do it - on the same continent, only couple hundreds kilometers away.
I don't disagree. Just saying that you seem to mix what's created by the Swedish unions to protect the workers, with the corporate decision to move production where it's easier to exploit workers. So not the same people. The union has no saying in this and would most certainly condemn treating workers as disposable assets.
