That's the whole point of freedom of movement rules within the single

local wage agreements.


Only for a short period. I think it's something like 90 working days
in any calendar year.

It then reverts to local arrangements, though there is not allowed to
be a quota of EU workers. Switzerland[1] requires a work permit to be
obtained, and there are wage controls - you aren't allowed to undercut
a Swiss worker.

I have personal experience of this.

[1] non EU, but does follow the "freedom of movement" stuff.
