Thanks very much; though I'm from Europe, I left too young to experience unions there, so it's always enlightening to learn more. I have also understood from other folks that in much of Europe, unions have more of a seat at the business table as well, planning jointly for company's future and mutual success. Sadly, the unions I've experienced in North America have been much more "us vs them" in attitude and contract. :(
