Well, then create balance. I’m not saying it shouldn’t happen, but it’s not the fault of the company in this case. It shouldn’t be necessary, but we’re not living in an utopia.
Mercedes, itself, in Germany has jarringly different relations with its unions, in a much more positive way–that is to say the current lack of “Utopia” as you call it, is absolutely conscious decision and they don’t just get off free for structuring their US business units as such.
The idea that companies should have inherently oppositional relationships with unions or organized labor is extreme and has been encouraged, lobbied for, violently supported with private police forces and abduction of public ones, and aggressively fomented by maniac capitalists in the US.
That’s not because they love us Germans so much, that’s because we took it and fought for it. Be the change you want to see.
