They do. Professionals of all kinds have their trade associations in the
US: AMA, Bar associations, etc. With the conspicuous exception of
engineers, they are at least as strong as their European counterparts. I
am still unconvinced that their interests overlap significantly with
those of working class unions. In fact, to the extent that their main
purpose is protecting and expanding upper-middle class incomes, they may
have opposite interests. European professional associations rarely, if
ever, coordinate their action in any meaningful way with working class
unions.
