Unionisation works best where you have large groups of (and I hate to use the word) 'commodity' employees, bank tellers, packers, call centre ee's with whom union negotiation should be a more effective way of managing the ee's. This assumes that the Union and the Eer are both working with similar goals in mind. Where these ee's are not unionised then they are the ones most likely to get screwed. Take the HSBC cleaners for example.

Less than 14% of people in the United States are unionized, and that includes the socialist north-east. Do you really think the IT sector have unions? Unlikely. Besides, I'll treat my employees as equals and I'll make them happy. Happy employees work harder, which means my company(ies) do better.
