so in summary it's the unions?

  In Sweden: Yes, they are in charge of keeping the salaries of the educated "elite" working at Ericsson etc low. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltsj%C3%B6baden_Agreement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltsj%C3%B6baden_Agreement

    Having worked at a company with a collective agreement in Sweden, nothing within it restricted my salary or my ability to negotiate as an individual. Upon coming into effect, the agreement simply gave me more vacation days and set a minimum yearly raise to keep up with inflation (one that was always surpassed and enhanced further with individual performance bonuses etc).

    I "saw" that link. It says nothing about your claims at all. Here's my counterpoint: https://www.disney.com https://www.disney.com

  For what its worth, unions don't do collective bargaining for tech workers in Denmark.

  Yes, and maybe also labour scarcity. At least in Sweden where I live many skilled workers are not easy to find. There is a scale factor here that is way, way different than many other countries: there are significantly fewer people.
