Technically it does have collective agreements just not with the company I work for.
A union, at least in Sweden, isn’t tied to a place of work so me working somewhere they don’t have a collective agreement isn’t that odd. Now it does mean I don’t get as much out of my membership but I still do gain some things. Like if my employer screws me over the union is there to help me and fight for me in court if need be. There are also some extra protections like if there is a layoff the company will need to negotiate and justify why I, or anyone else in my union, should be the one to loose their job.
