In places I've worked in that had unions, you didn't have a choice as to whether you wanted to join or not - you want the job, you join the union.

Huh. Those sort of closed shops are illegal in the European Union, and have been for years, your right to join a trade union must mean you have the right to not join a union. Needless to say, unions and socialists in EU were not so happy with that.

It's weird to think that part of the USA have more union friendly than the EU
