This holds true for unionized workers, but Germany also has a fairly large share of workers who barely make minimum wage, or who make slightly more while being heavily exploited and overworked, especially in the large logistics sector (Germany is a major transport hub in Europe), in the food industry, in service work, in health care etc. There's very tangible material differences between these parts of the working class, very little class consciousness and a lot of "fuck you, i got mine" attitude.
ofc, a lot of the workers bearing the most precarious conditions aren't even allowed to vote in the first place because they're immigrants and getting citizenship takes at least 8 years of living here if people even bother to go through that whole process in the first place.
Eh, germany is like labor aristocracy made flesh in industrial working population, who are very unionized. the other workers get shit on, true.
But unions for auto industry simp for spd, if I remember correctly
