Just curious how you'd explain Germany and the high levels of unions in the export industries there? You can hardly say that there is little global competition

Just curious how you'd explain Germany and the high levels of unions in the export industries there? You can hardly say that there is little global competition or high levels of protectionism for them.
- dmix 7y agoIf there was ever a work culture that wouldn’t give in to the various temptations of inefficiencies and stupidities which unions offer you without consequence it’s the Germans. They’ll work their ass off regardless if some piece of paper says they don’t really have to and if they don’t their peers will look down on them. I highly recommend this video to highlight the cultural differences between the UK vs Germany (particularly the bit about using Facebook at work), which I think do matter a lot in these conversations: https://youtu.be/mSQKtxJ-Uvk https://youtu.be/mSQKtxJ-Uvk I also think Americans are worse for challenging authority than the UK culture highlighted in that show clip.
