Do we even need a union for this? Employment tribunals are free and the law is the law.
Can anyone tell me why Norwegians get a better deal just because they have unions/collective agreements. Ok the unions set the bar and they won’t back us on our problems, but for what I can see with regards to the equality act 2010 then this is direct racial discrimination. Even a quick google search on Norwegian law and they seem quite strict on discrimination.
Have a quick read at these links.

It all seems too easy a case, am I missing something here?? Or is the extreme lack of testicles comment correct?
