You left out the peragraph that refered to international trade 
unionism in Europe. Crawling back to national governments that are 
weaker than  international corporations, is certainly not the best 
solution. By the way, probably due to the
stronger influence of the left in the EU,
their workplace directives tend to be better than the ones in the UK 
for example. 
All in all, what seems to be so good for global capitalism
could be also good for the global integration of democratic 
movements for a better globe...
