Yesterday I read an article by an economist why airlines fail to be a sustainable business model and social media ticks the same boxes.

Yes even parity co-determination as a former coal business.

We have peak worker’s rights but no fighting spirit. People take everything for granted while being constantly bombarded by corporate media about how bad the economy is.

Really the problem is participation especially among the young and the highly educated. Which is a bleak perspective for the upcoming decades, when boomers retire. Times when being in the union was an expected social obligation are definetly over.

Well I’m in Germany FYI. 60% is not so great considering the union needs a majority support to negotiate with the company. We’re barely above the limit.

We have a problem with low levels of union memberships (60%) but the company is too big and dispersed to know everybody and the main demographic of unorganized people (researchers) works in different parts from the organized crafts and administration.
