Many Americans grow up with a rather biased view of unions and with good reason. Looking at the unions here in New York when it comes to construction you quickly end up loathing the unions. Instead of fighting for paid sick days, longer vacation, better healthcare for their members they simply try to expand the number of members they have thus delaying constructions, putting way too many people on the constructions projects etc. It's a shame because unions do have their time and place when the work is more or less the same and salaries not too independent. Wallmart employees could use a strong union. Uber could. But the problem is that once you get into the territory of fluctuating salaries for the same job and more individual employee/employer relationships it's not so easy to establish a shared vision. Denmark have a model[1] where the employee unions and the employer negotiate minimum salaries, sick days etc. and where the government primarily is there as a mediator. It's working pretty good although it is showing to be less effective in the more individually based job types I spoke about. None the less. The US do need more unions but they have to be established across companies to ensure agency.
