On the other hand even if you are not a union member you will get the same wages as union members. So why not become a member? Getting all the advantages but don't do anything in exchange? It's just a few €/month and you get monetarian support during strike, union lawyers in case of trouble with your company etc. etc.
Right-wing parties like this but what, if the unions are not strong enough for week or monthlong strikes? Imagine for yourself.
I call these employees ticks! 🤬

Its the old free-rider problem - a problem unions have had to deal with for years....

But here - if I understood it correct - you are quite near the arguing which is preferrably used by right-wing and fascistoid parties.
"Social assistance is so high, people won't work but enjoy social hammock!"
Similar for minimum wages: "They will ruin the economy!"
In my opinion the wages should be so that the employees can have a fair living with just one job for themselves and their family or children.
Btw: In Germany you do not need to be member of a union.

... are these billionaires getting their wealth from suppressing unions and paying low wages! 👿✊
@stiefel_fan @ChrisMayLA6 For me, low wages is all fair game, as long as the employees are equally free to leave. In europe, where government social security levels are so high, and in some countries, where legal minimum wage is so high, artificially low wages just lead to people simply not taking the jobs.
Unions I have no problem with as long as the union members are not forcing people to join the union, or forcing people who are not union members to not go to work during a strike.

That's a good statement, I think! As for myself I started with the need of unemployment benefits and social assistance right after finishing my studies at the University. But then I was lucky chosing a job later, which was not only rising fast but also made fun (well, mostly 😜) until now.
A close friend even had more luck and also worked hard on his career, so he's overtaken me by far. 🤷🏼♂️👍
What I really dislike 🤬 ...
