COUNTRIES WITH HIGHEST % OF THEIR WORKFORCE BEING UNION MEMBERS

China got cut out of the list by a couple of spots, it's number 10 at 44.2%. The US is unsurprisingly low at 10.3% but France somehow managed to be lower at 8.9%.
France is weird with Unions because they don't have a massive technical membership, but a lot of supporters and people outside of unions members get the union wages and such if I am remembering correctly
Yeah in my second hand experience Unions in France are comprised of a small amount of registered members but since everyone gets the benefits in the company then they don't bother doing the work. It's a trap because that makes workers democracy a niche in which only the terminally leftists participate, alienating them from the masses, and also making lib unions super popular (when I say lib I mean literally just aiming to convince the workers that what the boss does isn't that bad)
My country rolls in with a stunning...18%. Honestly, higher than I thought we would be.
Which, depressingly, is still close to double the US.
Wonder if that was ever used as an argument to call the Nordics "socialist"
