The problem in Sweden is of a different nature. We do have union representation in the game industry, but it's more or less a yellow union (that is, it's so passive that it's to the benefit of the employers) imo. This means that many of the core issues related to employee health are never adressed or fought over, for example:
* Overtime pay (very rare of in the game industry).
* The allowed amount of hours overtime (a.k.a. crunch, there's alooot of hours overtime allowed in the collective bargaining agreement).
* The detrimental effect of open offices.
So understand me right, I'm a union man without a doubt, but just having the union box checked does nothing. The union has to be a fighting union, otherwise it will wither away.
