- akie 6mo agoGermany went from labour shortage to hiring freezes in like two to three years. This has nothing to do with unions, which have been on a long downward slope for decades. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1356608/trade-unions-germany-density-bargaining-rights-eu/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/1356608/trade-unions-ger...

- dgellow 6mo agoI think they mean the EU
- nephihaha 6mo agoGermany was one of the prototypes for the European Union in my view. I'm not talking about violent expansion but the Zollverein and other similar processes which united Prussia, Saxony, Bavaria with a number of other Länder.
- croes 6mo agoShame on the workers who want their share from the work they did, poor shareholders, all their hard work for nothing. /s Unions in Germany have less power than in France for instance. The rights to strike are more restrictive
- dgellow 6mo agoI really wouldn’t look at France as a system to emulate. Their economy is also going through a pretty rough decade
- croes 6mo agoFrance is just an example of strike possibilities. It’s ridiculous to blame unions in Germany where things like political strikes are not allowed … because a former Nazi judge said so.
