Hoi, It is a travesty when it is up to an employer to recognise a trade union. The question is very much what is implied by such a recognition. It may be cultural but I would consider the WMF seriously flawed when it is not willing to recognise the right of employees to be organised.
A trade union often provides legal aid when necessary and no way in hell should a company be allowed to interfere in this. Thanks, GerardN

The issue is not whether anyone "is allowed to join" a trade union; but whether that trade union is recognised by the employer.
