Not all terms of work are based on law, instead they are negotiated by trade unions into collective agreements. The agreements differ based on the field of work.  

A collective agreement is an agreement between a trade union and an employers’ association on minimum working conditions in the sector. The collective agreement, negotiated by trade union and employers’ association, defines the minimum terms and conditions of employment for employees in the sector. These include matters such as minimum pay, working hours and fringe benefits. When a union has a sufficient number of members, it can negotiate fair terms, such as pay, for all.

A trade union is a safety net for employees. It safeguards your rights and helps you to succeed in your career. Union membership includes also earnings-related unemployment security, which provides higher allowances than basic unemployment security, should you become unemployed.

More employees working in a given field join the union, the more bargaining power the union has for instance in collective agreement negotiations and more strictly must also the employers follow the agreements.
