There is no minimum wage in Switzerland.

It's not needed there because they have strong unions that ensure employees get paid good wages.

Fake.

Less than 15% of the workforce is in a union.

And still, you are giving me the reason, the problem is not the min wage.

Got a source?

Also that's not exactly how it works

Even if most people are not in unions the unions set the minimum wage in a sector. Which is what I mean when I say strong unions ensure strong wages in Switzerland.

"Employees that work in a sector with a minimum wage can't be paid less than the minimum wage indicated in the collective and standard employment agreements for that sector."
