Isn’t that a contradiction? The union is for the workers, not the company - how could the company make a union? Doesn’t it have to be the workers who organize?

- klyrs 4y agoThe European model, as I understand it, is that unions have elected representation on the board of directors for the company in question.
- rtkwe 4y agoOnce the union is established the model they're talking about gives the union a seat somewhere in the executive levels sometimes several on the board. It brings the union directly into the decision making process earlier so there's more chances to address things before they rise to the level of a strike. It could be used to co-opt the union but it doesn't inherently compromise it.
