So it's important to remember that European Unions and American Unions are NOT the same thing! Despite having the same name.
In the US the union is directly tied to the job, you can't pick your union. In Europe you can chose your union.
This "little" difference dramatically changes the unions, and is the reason why a majority of Americans hate unions.
- Moru 2y agoYou can't really choose any union, it has to be something that supports your type of work. But you don't have to join the union, and the union have very different functions. What americans call Unions isn't really what we mean when we talk about Unions. This is why american companies tries to fight unions in europe so hard. When they finaly realize the difference they accept the unions of europe. Some just take a bit longer to come to understanding.

In my high tech company there are I think 5 unions, all more or less equal (one of them is more "blue collar" oriented but still). When there are elections, it is usually a matter of preference of people who are in the union, more than whet they will do.
