It's so weird to see this. Where I live, unions are a default. It should become the norm everywhere, not just in northern Europe.

In which country of Western, Central or Southern Europe are unions not a default? Don't know about Eastern Europe.

Thatcher killed most unions in the UK, though in the past few years there has been a slow resurgence.

Not sure, but I do know the union stuff is very prominent in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark
