I think you’re confused. VW has unions in Germany because Germany actually cares about its citizens. They wouldn’t have unions if you gave them the option.
VW tried twice to unionize their US factory in Chattanooga. Both times the workers voted against unionisation.
VW does a lot for unions and workers councils compared to other companies.
The VW management, the German union and the German Workers council wanted the plant to unionize.
VW is a lot more pro union than Amazon. Die to German law there are a lot of union members on the board.
The 2014 vote was opposed by local politicians, mainly republicans.

I’ve worked in Union houses in Germany and you’re right.
It was a contingency when world war 2 ended that the boards in Germany be made in part of union members, it was a US idea
