There's a mindset in much of europe that labor and capital are partners in determining a company's or even industry's future. In fact, the unions often sit down to negotiate with the government and industry leaders as equals to set industry policies.

This collaboration is a very good thing. All participants in the economy should have a stake. It kind of scares me that although Trump got elected by a lot of workers in his administration only business people get heard. They will shape policy for themselves but I don't think workers will get any benefit.

"Much of europe" is a bit too generalising, that's more specifically the german and nordic model, labour relations in e.g. France have historically been much more combative and closer to the US's.
