You seem to misunderstand. These things don't exist in Nordic countries because companies decided to be nice. They exist because large powerful unions and cooperative governments pushed them to it. You can't sit back and wait for companies to behave. You got to push for political change in your country. Strong unions combined with laws protecting them is one way of making sure companies play by the rules. I can tell the same story about foreign workers in Norway. We got lots of polish and other eastern European workers to the Norwegian construction industry. These workers were treated much worse than Norwegian workers because they 1) didn't know their rights 2) were not union members. After concerted efforts by the Norwegian unions to inform eastern European workers, create information material in polish etc, then conditions started improving a lot. It is not an accident that Nordic workplaces are quite nice and the unionization rate is close to 80%.
