In Europe, at least in some countries, forming a union is a right and there is no need to organise a ballot so companies can do much less to prevent it but they obviously still do all they can.

As long as they act within the law it's fair game really because it's obviously not in a company's interest to have unions.

Forming is one thing actually getting recognition is much harder.

Again, this depends on the country. Where forming an union is a right, the obligation for the company to recognise it may also be the law.

For example on France there are unions at Amazon and they are recognised. Why? Because in law there is nothing Amazon can do about either.

This is annoying for companies but it cuts down on the BS.
