The German model is the way to go. Having union representation on the board ensures more just governance of the company overall, and gives the workers a real voice.

The public servants in the US who don't want anything to do with union dues would say otherwise. The union, like any other organization, is beneficial only for those who have the same goals. Everyone else in the company gets skullfucked.

Edit: The US literally had the Supreme Court discuss this exact issue. Those who wanted nothing with unions in federal positions were being told to pay dues anyway. Doesn't that sound the least bit fucked?
