Sweden -Working in Norway not always a success -November 08, 2014

Dec 7, 2014 - Being a guest worker in Norway may not be as idealistic as it seems because many companies are breaking employment rules to save money. The western neighbour has developed into an extremely popular option for jobless Swedes.

Research from the Oslo University reveals that being a guest worker in Norway may not be as idealistic as it seems because many companies are breaking employment rules to save money. The western neighbour has developed into an extremely popular option for jobless Swedes because of its booming economy. It is pointed out that among the ways Swedes were being mistreated included jobs without written contracts, unpaid trial shifts, and different working conditions and lower salaries than their Norwegian counterparts.
