    Globally? The fuck you spouting? In the Netherlands, and especially my employer (IT, >10000 employees) advertises 3-4 different unions and has special offers like paying half the monthly union costs and the other half I can pay with my income taxes.

      I’m not saying it is everyone. I’m in It myself and in a union.

      But even here (Norway) there is always a lot of tech and IT people who will start with the “I don’t need a union, because i can get a better pay etc. by myself” whenever talk of unions in these sectors come up.
