(just a nitpick, but we don't have a general minimum salary / minstelønn in Norway. Unions however, have managed to establish rules binding everyone in certain industries to some minimum)

To add to that: About half the Norwegian workforce is unionised (which is the lowest of the Nordic countries, but higher than all other non-Nordic countries in the OECD than Belgium), and something like 3/4 of all workers are covered by sectoral agreements (tariffavtaler), which is why there's not much demand for minimum wage laws.
