When I say we need bigger unions I refer to the likes of VERDI, who is behind the easyJet guys in Berlin. They have more than 2 mio. members and are one of the largest unions in the world. They have a big amount of ressources, access to the press, political influence etc.
This is the sort of organisation it requires to take on the fancy lawyers from easyJet and Ryanair and put pressure on the political level...
