Recommended: American Factory on Netflix. Documentary about Fuyao glass in Dayton, OH. Created a bunch of jobs but set up a surreal culture clash. If US Japan culture clash in 80s was a 7/10, this is like 11/10.

I met a 'Union' consultant once on a plane. He mentioned, he goes to factories across the country where he consult the pros/cons for the workers, review labor law/health & safety etc and set up unions, I don't recall, there is a ratio and he was happy about his gig.

An economist once explained to me that unions make sense in production lines, where no-one can see an individual's productivity, and not in knowledge work like software, where it can be seen. I didn't get it. I guess this is why he's an economist and I'm a software developer.

(Basically the idea is that for knowledge workers it makes more sense to individually bargain based on differential individual merit, whereas for production line workers in a factory it makes more sense to collectively bargain based on collective merit)
