So in other words… we have effective union monopolization in the US.

• vidarh 4y ago
  Not all that much more so than in a substantial proportion of other countries with far more powerful unions, and which often have multiple unions represented in the same companies. Most places have thresholds to be met before an employer can be forced to recognise a given union. It's not unusual for that threshold to be 50% per unit and for people to still opt to stay members in a minority union, which you can in the US too. The main way the US distinguishes itself in terms of unionisation is by low union membership, and as such the lack of significant minority union locals in the US is more a factor of few people joining a union unless they'd be paying agency fees anyway.
