We had the opportunity to meet Dirk Linder, who represents Siemens Global Union Network, earlier this week.\u00a0 Amongst the topics of discussion was union representation within Siemens companies across the globe, in particular the US.\u00a0 With so-called Right to Work (for less) bills,\u00a0unions are\u00a0currently facing strong resistance to organizing in the US.\u00a0 By networking with Siemens employees from both unionized and non-unionized shops, the hope is to raise awareness about the benefits of being unionized.\u00a0 As a comparison, Siemens has 360 000 employees globally; of those employees, 120 000 work in Germany and the vast majority are unionized.\u00a0 In the US, 60 000 employees work for Siemens, the vast majority of which are non-unionized<\/em>.\u00a0 If being unionized was so bad, why would Siemens tolerate this in Germany?\u00a0 The company remains highly profitable, after all…<\/p>\n

Nous avons eu<\/span> l’occasion de<\/span> rencontrer<\/span> Dirk<\/span> Linder<\/span>, qui repr\u00e9sente Siemens Network<\/span> Global Union<\/span>, plus t\u00f4t cette semaine<\/span>. Parmi les<\/span> sujets de discussion<\/span> \u00e9tait<\/span> la repr\u00e9sentation syndicale<\/span> au sein des entreprises<\/span> Siemens<\/span> \u00e0 travers le monde<\/span>, en particulier<\/span> aux \u00c9tats-Unis<\/span>. Avec<\/span> le soi-disant<\/span> “Right to Work” (pour<\/span> moins)<\/span>, les syndicats sont actuellement confront\u00e9s \u00e0<\/span> une forte r\u00e9sistance<\/span> \u00e0 l’organisation<\/span> aux \u00c9tats-Unis<\/span>. Par<\/span> la mise en r\u00e9seau<\/span> avec<\/span> les employ\u00e9s de Siemens<\/span> dans les\u00a0usines<\/span> syndiqu\u00e9s et<\/span> non syndiqu\u00e9s<\/span>, l’espoir<\/span> est de sensibiliser<\/span> sur les avantages de<\/span> la syndicalisation<\/span>. A titre de comparaison<\/span>, Siemens<\/span> compte 360<\/span> 000<\/span> employ\u00e9s dans le monde<\/span>; de ces<\/span> employ\u00e9s<\/span>, 120<\/span> 000 travaillent<\/span> en Allemagne<\/span> et la grande majorit\u00e9<\/span> sont syndiqu\u00e9s<\/span>. Aux \u00c9tats-Unis<\/span>, 60<\/span> 000<\/span> employ\u00e9s travaillent<\/span> pour Siemens<\/span>, la grande majorit\u00e9 sont des<\/span> non<\/span>–<\/span>syndiqu\u00e9s<\/em>. Si<\/span> la syndicalisation<\/span> \u00e9tait<\/span> si mauvais<\/span>, pourquoi Siemens le<\/span>\u00a0tol\u00e8rera <\/span>en Allemagne<\/span>?
