Default Best Quality of Life:Norway:almost 60% union
The world has voted on which country has the best quality of life. The winner is Norway who has close to 60% of it's workforce being union members. So much for the argument that unions hurt a nations economy. Don't believe the hype that unions drag it down. Put the money in the hands of the people and the economy is constantly stimulated.

UN index rates life best in Norway, worst in Niger - World news- msnbc.com

And the top 18 union membership countries are all in the top 10 quality of life countries. I'll get the top ten quality of life and labor union density reports and post them tommorrow.

Interesting list.
I'm kinda surprised there is not a solid line up; at every airport and seaport, to get aboard and move there. Seems like so many people are disenchanted with our county but make no effort to leave. Really puzzling to me.

That is because they control their borders.
