I realised shortly after posting it, that it might be something people abroad aren’t familiar with. So I’ve amended my comment to include a short description of what a kollektivavtal, a collective agreement is. It differs depending on your line of work, a programmer like me wouldn’t have the same agreement that say, a mine worker in Kiruna would have.
In short though, a kollektivavtal opens up a breadth of fundamental workers rights, like the right to negotiate your salary. A workplace not having one is a gigantic red flag.
OP mentioned it so casually, I just assumed I was dumber than usual today.
