My point is you have a societal issue if you have thousands of workers migrating who are looking to work and willing to work for less. You can either choose to house and feed them and prevent them from working, or you can realize labor is cheaper.

We have no such race to the bottom here in Sweden

Interesting. Are refugees or illegal immigrants allowed to work? Do they get social services? Would they work if they could?

Only 60% of people age 20-65 who arrived as refugees participate in the labour market (40% doesnt). And of those 60% many work part-time or in government pretend jobs (that are created to hide unemployment).

Unions ensure that workers are not pitted against one another

The one race to the bottom is workers from other countries within the European Union as the free market and movement within EU complicates things then.
