If you're at Volvo with a collective bargaining agreement that probably makes it harder for Volvo to lay you off or fire you.
If you're at Tesla without a collective bargaining agreement that probably makes it easier for Tesla to lay you off or fire you. Those are risks.

- therouwboat 3y agoI dont know swedish law, but from quick glance collective bargaining agreements may give longer notice period, but doesn't protect you from being fired?
- fl7305 3y agoNot an expert either. But I think you have fairly strong protections in the law from getting unjustly fired. The union agreement will give you extra protection on top of that, but I think the biggest thing in your favor is that the union lawyers will sue the company for you and represent you in court. You can get fired for bad behavior or abysmal performance. Not easy for the company to do, takes a lot of documentation and warnings. But layoffs is a completely different matter. If the sales go down, people will get laid off. Maybe they'll get better terms, but Sweden isn't France where the unions will force companies to keep tons of people they don't need.
