Actually most developed countries only have very small unionised workforces. The OECD average is 9% (rising to 17% if you include public sector). Moreover, union membership is rapidly falling.

While I’m sure that many low skilled workers prefer them, it’s the companies and higher skilled workers who decide where businesses operate.
