Oh yeah I’m not a big EU fan, but sometimes they do something good, while also actively fucking with the ability for workers rights to be bargained for as effectively in countries like mine (Denmark) with a stronger than average labor movement. (Not saying Denmark is great or anything, but like 60% union participation in the working population is pretty good, but there is also plenty of imperialism, and racism, and other xenophobic tendencies)
Thing about Nordic countrys you gotta keep in mind is unions are sectoral meaning if you work fast food anywhere your in that union for fast food, the unions often suppress wages on behalf of the state the logic is the inflation hurts the worker more then pay raise would help. But I don't know if they are sectoral unions like other social democrat countrys.
Oh yeah don’t get me wrong, our unions are not perfect at all. But just the thing of being willing to unionize makes it easier to convince people to strike, and stuff. Many many problems currently too, but it is undeniable that our working conditions are better than the US, and a number of other EU countries. But yeah it is complicated, and last I checked union memberships were down too, and we all feel the years of austerity.
It can't be denied you have better protection and honestly sectoral unionism I want to think would have been better for the u.s. due to the split state and fed system we got here, at this point I don't know how we get our selves to a more human system at this point the states are a pain factory at a certain wage level and the decadence of our elites is almost unfathomable to everyone one but the Spanish. The slow motion demolition thats occurring here isn't happening fast to save people's lives
journalists even published articles to help european citizens circumvent the gdpr ban on threads because their privacy policy is terrible as expected
Gdpr is one of those mythical things like healthcare that I wish America had.
There’s something irritating about trying to get around a protective ban on something while living in a place with zero protection.
