The problem with American unions is that they have had to fight too hard, for every little thing. This makes them much less cooperative and makes the company the enemy, which just doesn't work out. This has become ingrained into the culture and is now really hard to fix.
In most European countries the unions will work much closer with management, which leads to better results for everyone. Also in Europe no-one will starve if they lose their job, and in most cases won't even lose their home for years to come. This means that losing your job isn't as horrendous as it is in the USA, which again leads to the unions being able to take a softer stance.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
