A great bargaining chip for unskilled workers would be the viable alternative of unemployment backed by universal health care and basic income. EDIT: this idea is in the article: More radical ideas like a universal basic income—a welfare payment made to everyone regardless of work status—or a jobs guarantee, which extends the right to a government job paying a decent wage to everyone, would shift power to workers and force firms to work harder to retain employees.
