> look at Germany where every industry has unions

And the Companies in Germany pushes more and more the workforce to outside of Germany. The company that I work for has moving massively the workforce to Czech republic, China and since 2019, Bulgaria. I could imagine Google doing the same.



U.S. has been outsourcing to cheaper countries for decades now, and while workers rights here aren't necessarily bad, unions have definitely been weak. As those countries are enriched and developed, eventually they will become more expensive for production, and might have their own stronger labor organizations as well. And then the cycle will continue until eventually you run out of countries/labor markets.
