Well, our ~800 people company has unions too. But they don’t do sh#t for people. And I mean real sh#t. Except for once a year they have a meeting with free sandwiches they eat and then go home. Another year of unions well done… apparently by them.

But my friends working in big technical/industrial corp say their unions are quite strong and they at least care for employees a bit.

So yeah, there’re unions to this day, but their meaning is not met everywhere.
