high unionization and almost universal coverage of CBAs is balancing the power between employers and employees, reducing some of the coercive power of capital over workers — both in everyday working life and in the broader relation of class forces across society. It means standards including a thirty-seven-hour working week, five to six weeks of paid vacation, paid sick leave, and one year of paid parental leave for every child

When the Irish airline Ryanair opened up routes out of Copenhagen Airport a decade ago, their controversial CEO, Michael O’Leary, preceded Musk in openly attacking the Nordic model and mocking the unions. Solidarity actions of all unions in the airport in the Danish capital made it impossible for Ryanair to operate and after losing a legal battle over the solidarity actions, an enraged O’Leary shut down the routes out of Copenhagen. This year, Ryanair returned after all and signed a collective agreement. In the ’80s, McDonalds also bowed to a prolonged battle for unionization, and the same happened for Toys”R”Us in Sweden
✏️ Time and time again, solidarity and unions stood up and defeated corporate greed. 🔗 View Highlight
