      I agree with you

      Most people won’t understand the difference or read your link

      Especially because “company” unions aren’t a thing in the civilised world

        I just added the link just seconds ago. Apparently looking up terms people don’t know is too difficult.

      I’ll have the feeling the voters in this tread have no idea what a company union is. There’s a reason they are banned by international labor law!

  For those that haven’t read the link

  A company or “yellow” union is a worker organization which is dominated or unduly influenced by an employer and is therefore not an independent trade union. Company unions are contrary to international labour law (see ILO Convention 98, Article 2).1 They were outlawed in the United States by the 1935 National Labor Relations Act §8(a)(2),2 due to their use as agents for interference with independent unions. However, company unions persist in many countries.

  Japan

  Main article: Labor unions in Japan

  Company unions are a mainstay of labor organization in Japan, viewed with much less animosity than in Europe or the United States. Unaffiliated with RENGO (the largest Japanese trade union federation), company unions appeal to both the lack of class consciousness in Japanese society and the drive for social status, which is often characterized by loyalty to one’s employer.25
