Yep, all of this are how things are, assuming your workplace plays by the social contract and signs the collective agreement. You can sign up for the unemployment insurance without being a union member too.
Around 70% of people in Sweden are members of Unions for $15/month.
Sweden salary is 4k/month, with full health insurance, free school for the kids, free college. In case they get ill, workers get 2 years of 80% salary.
While you have at will contrracts in the US, unions in Sweden have ensured 3 months notice. Unions also negotiate minumum annual raise and gives you annual raise at least equal to inflation.
Unemployment insurance is handled by unions, you must be a member - 1 year of 80% salary and additional year. If needed, new training is obtained for free.
Without a union agreement, Musk workers are slaves.
No serious brand operates without unions.
