"Betriebsrat" sounds German to me, so possibly Germany? And definitely Sweden. Many (most?) of my software engineer colleagues are members of either the engine

  > “Betriebsrat" sounds German to me, so possibly Germany? I am in Germany and I never heard of any union for Devs, not even large firms having any specific ones for Devs. My colleagues frequently discuss about unionizing but there are huge pay disparity hence most often it is hard to get everyone on board sadly. Most unions are intended for craftsmen, minijobs, public transports and such. There are some small employers covered by famous IG Metall tariff but that is not the norm. I know that likes of Airbus has some kind of union that covers most of the departments and hence pays insane salary but that is something I heard from friends of people who work there, so I can’t assure accuracy. There might be unions but that is not the norm except some dinosaurs.
