We are more radical, we do accept sabotage and direct action as an important part of our fight. Its an revolutionary syndicalism union and part of IWA/AIT. Its independent of the industry banch. e.g. if Amazon would have FAU, then the strike would likely effect computing systems bringing the complete delivery to halt. And not just 10% of the workers, who are standing at the door and changing nothing. The FAU is the best union for freelancers and temporary workers, and we are the only one who did win a strike for temp workers.

The main difference in German unions to other countries is, that other countries did fight the unions, and the unions did fight back. But in Germany the government embraced the unions and socialist since WW1, and the unions are a system sustaining since then, comparable to the church in other countries.

Yeah, because destroying someone else's property when they won't do what you want is a good thing. /s
Seems to work well for the US
you've just explained why FAU is worse
