Unions here are a joke. Some localities even have antiunion laws like forcing the union to protect non-paying members, putting a drain on the union by having people who take from the union but never give. A lot of the large unions here are OWNED by the same corporations they are made to protect against. Trying to start a Union in most places will get you fired/kicked out with no way for you to defend yourself. It fucking sucks here, and I very much envy the privilege of getting to live in an actual first world country, and not a weapons manufacturing corporation in a country suit.
Eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bozeman_Tenants_United does seem fine.
sure does for the 53,293 people in Bozeman.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tenant_unions_in_the_United_States
Theres only 23 states listed here. Of those 23 states, its about 2 cities per state. Not even a majority of US states have a single Tenants union.
