only countries can join and it's a long and tedious process.
first of all you have to comply with a number of standards (economic, political, social). then the head of state of your country makes an official application. it is then up to the EU to consider this application.
at this moment there is a membership stop as the EU has to adapt to the recent enlargements. once the present situation is firmly under control, new countries can apply. however, some countries are more prone to be accepted than others. Muslim countries (like turkey) will face stiff opposition compared to non-Muslim countries. and of course the applicant country must be on the European continent.
a head of state may wish his country join the EU, but he will also have to deal with his electorate back home. not all people are in favour of joining the EU and in some cases the national population has opted out for fear of being dominated by the EU parliament in brussels of for fear of economic and social reasons (e.g. minority rights, the dumping of agricultural goods, ....)
There are a number of conditions that must be met.
- The country must be a democracy
- The Government must be stable with no fear of a revolution
- Human Rights Laws must be respected
- But Nations can also be Vetoed (Blocked) by others. It took the UK almost ten years to join the EU because they were Vetoed three times by the French on the grounds that they were untrustworthy and wouldn't commit (Which on reflection was probably true).
1. To be a country in Europe 2. To apply for it 3. To get the status of candidate member 4. To start accession talks and others. Its a long process.

Trade Unions in Europe, if that is what you are referring to, are not multi-national corporations. They are unions to support employees and their rights. The European Union, if that is what you are referring to, is an organisation that has 28 countries as members. It is not a multi-national corporation.
they feel it is their right to be part. therefore they join the association.
Employees join unions in order to get fair representation. When employers are not treating them fairly, employees may feel that they don't have a voice, but unions counter that.
In 2014, women do join the labor unions. Women are part of every union in the United States. The women all make the same salary as the men.
Oh, in europe, unions do not pretend not to be political parties. In the USA, unions pretend not to be agents of a political party.
