Abstract
Does the negative effect of union membership on job satisfaction, as shown in Anglophone countries, also hold for Continental Western Europe?

Analyses of European Social Survey data show that the negative union effect does not exist for Continental Western Europe and that this can be explained by empowerment of employees.
