Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. None of these nations have an minimim hourly wage enshrined in law. Instead many of the base terms of employment, including wages, are decided via collective bargaining between sector trade unions and representatives of public sector and business interest organizations.

I live in Sweden by the way, so feel free to ask me questions on the topic and I’ll do my best to answer.

    I used to teach English in Japan. There was apparently a time long ago when native English teachers were treated very badly in Japan. The companies would pay them a pittance

    I dunno when you left but I’m pretty sure wages for English teachers suck these days. Probably not so much black company activity (confiscating passports etc) but in the last 15ish years there have been enough weebs flooding into the country such that companies can pay peanuts.
