One of the interesting points that the article brings up, is that Germany has a system that allows in-house unions, which is loosely referred to as co-determination. The difference there, is that the in-house unions established in German companies are designed within the specifications of labor laws, in order to actually benefit the workers. It's a shame that these same type of in-house unions are used in the U.S. to instead undermine actual attempts at unionization on behalf of workers. I think they could be beneficial in dismantling some of the highly antagonistic culture that currently exists between management and unions, if they weren't simply used for the benefit of the employer.
