Donald Trump: “Why can’t we have some people from Norway?”
As a Norwegian, here is my answer:
In Norway, we have permanent employment guaranteed by law, collective wage agreements, and strong unions.
In the US, you can lose your job overnight, without any reason.
In Norway, you can be sick without being financially punished.
In the US, getting sick can mean losing both your pay and your job.
In Norway, we have the right to paid holiday, leave, and a secure pension.
And healthcare and education are free.
In the US, much of this is up to your boss—if you are lucky.
And this is not a coincidence.
It is the result of ordinary people standing together, organising, and fighting for these rights.
So no thanks, I am not moving to get worse rights.
I will stay and defend the working life we have built here.
