Considering that some "union" jobs in Germany (there are collectively negotiated terms and conditions per industry which apply to everyone working at a company covered by those conditions whether or not being an actual union member) can go up to as much 120k per year for a 40 hour work week, and increase by a couple of percent every other year so, well, those jobs are a lot more attractive than people think. Added benefit: working at rather stable companies with more or less solid financials.
