None of the Nordic countries have a statutory minimum wage, btw.

Edit: Any skeptics don't have to trust me, they also have the option to trust the International Labour Organization:

We don't have a general minimum wage in Norway, because we don't need them. We have strong unions that have given us good tariffs for various industries, that acts as a minimum pay for that sector.

But there are some sectors (building, cleaning etc.) that do have a government set minimum pay, because they often would exploit foreign workers.

Actually, our foodora bicyclists a while back formed a union, striked, and got a tariff deal. So got rid of some of the problems around their gig-work.
