In France we call those "yellow unions", as opposed to "red unions" which are more adversarial with the company.
The most notable yellow union is CFDT, which is one of the largest cross-sector unions in the country. A saying I heard once was "Management could establish slavery, and CFDT would negotiate the weight of the chains".
- Mauricebranagh 5y agoAre not the red unions the communist one :-) France has multiple versions of unions based on politics for those that didn't know.
- pmoriarty 5y agoSo why do yellow unions' members tolerate their toothlessness?
- thanatos519 5y agoThe yellow unions wear yellow vests, but the red unions wear red shirts.

- PoignardAzur 5y agoJust because they have a good relationship with the management doesn't mean they're toothless. Some employees don't want to be threatening a strike every week. But yeah, people who identify with the more militant unions kind of despise the CFDT types.
- ekianjo 5y agoNatural selection. Red unions make companies go bankrupt, and relocate outside of France. Btw unions are mandatory in France above 50 employees. Which is why you find an awful lot of companies with 49 employees in France.
