Don't know about the US, but 1% is the standard in Germany. (Unions here work a bit different, they are not per-company but nationwide and you get a couple of benefits like legal insurance etc.)
- istjohn 6y agoUS unions are not typically per-company either.
- akhilcacharya 6y agoBut in the US they bargain on the enterprise level, not by sector. I think that was the implication in the comment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sectoral_collective_bargaining#United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sectoral_collective_bargaining...
- captainmuon 6y agoExactly. And as far as I understand the closest thing to US "to unionize" is a to set up a "worker's council", which is actually mandatory for companies above a certain size. From a European view it is strange that this is a big deal.
