Labour Mobility and Wage Dumping: The Case of Norway

Abstract:

This article examines wage regulation mechanisms, based on statutory provisions or on collective agreements, designed to protect migrant and posted workers from `wage dumping'. The Norwegian mixed model is compared to mechanisms in other European countries, and is also contrasted with the autonomous collective-agreement models of Denmark and Sweden. The experience gained from extension of collective agreements in Norway suggests that such mechanisms may be more generally effective as a means to protect foreign workers.
