In the US, unions have been outcompeted from almost all the private sector.
They mostly remain in public sector monopolies, where they in some ways are stronger than politicians and management.
I don't know of anywhere in Europe that's similar. It has little to do with "militancy" levels.
- pmyteh 4y agoYeah, the same in the UK (though I'd quibble about 'outcompete', and 'stronger than' is quite contingent in both countries in my view). Our public transport system still works way better than in the US. And I say that as someone who actually likes Amtrak.
