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.
@Setok In the U.S, companies have tried to turn the public against #unions by associating them with the far left. After McCarthyism, Hollywood has generally been timid to produce films or TV with pro-union themes.Yet the industry is widely unionized! It's definitely time for shows with bold witty #union leaders. Or maybe sexy union action heroes.
@mgmarkel and maybe also a modern view of what a union is. Not this stealthy operation that is naughty, but as something that just happens and union leaders work with business leaders to get a good deal for all.
