I believe there are some in Sweden. Something like 85% of their workforce is part of a union if memory serves. -- EDIT -- Here are some stats: http://stats.oe

Apparently Sweden used to be around 80% unionized in 1999, but the numbers have fallen pretty sharply since then. These days they sit a little below 70%, which is still remarkably high.
My understanding is that engineers and other technical people are often unionized in Sweden, but that could be as outdated as my 85% number above.
