¿TRADE UNIONS IN DECAY?

Is not a secret, once used to represent employees in the European Union institutions, Trade Unions across Europe are dissappearing since early 90's at a weird-dramatic rate.

Once gathered in strong confederations, today's unions are just a memory of what they used to be, according to the statistics, employees members of trade unions across the European Union have decreased, even at the point where, the most densely populated states have the lowest levels of Uniozation.

¿Possible Causes? I'd say, at least IMO, that the current global mergers involving not only countries from the UE is affecting the stability of the unions which have had to fight against the lack of control from the companies when hiring people from abroad. Another possible cause is the opposition to the ongoing erosion of living standards and working conditions within the european companies.

The long-term picture presents an even more devastating picture of how the unions will have prevented the emergence of opposition to corporate management and the government.
