I'm not sure how much that has to do with it.
I live in Chicago, no one around here would accuse the unions of being weak, but vacation time here is no different than in the south.
Unless you mean on a national level (unions pushing for federal reform and what-not) than yes the unions here are weaker, but the U.S. Also tends to be more opposed to national regulations than Europe as well.
- yxhuvud 15y agoHere in Sweden the government mostly only legislated what the unions and the employer organizations already had agreed to. That went on throughout the 40's to the 70's. At that point the state legislated some things that had no prior agreement and then progress basically stopped.
- r00fus 15y agoConsidering most vacation law is set at the national level, yes, weak union power at the national level results in the situation we have here.
