One thing that has often confused me about American TV series is how unionisation is portrayed. The characters often do it in secret, very hush hush, like it is something shameful or naughty.

Is there some legal or cultural difference that leads to that? Here many employees are part of a #union, which are industry-specific and cross-company. I admit, having been in the tech space, it's not a topic I'm super familiar with, but as an employer I wouldn't consider #unionisation as something awful.

This post from @SuneAuken on #Unionisation in #universities in #Denmark is just perfect and goes out to all my colleagues in the UK as well as to all the PhD students + Postdoc #precariat everywhere who are not treated as valued employees.
