From a Norwegian point of view it was really confusing reading American news about unions and how they're so controversial. Until then, I just assumed unions were a fact of (work) life everywhere.
What really kills me is that there are absolutely corrupt unions in the US but nobody wants to accept that and talk about how it happened. I'm pro union but man, police unions and construction unions are some really really questionable unions in the grand scheme of things just for what they get up to.
