      Unions don’t work the same way in all european countries.

      In France, the union I belong to is organized by local company and public service, with a spawling system of dual cascading federations by geographic sector and economic sector.

      And there are several competing national union organizations which overlap. I don’t know exactly how the other ones are organized

      This is the difference between a trade union and an industrial union. You can join an industrial union elsewhere in Europe or even in the US, such as the IWW.
