I’d invite you to read the section directly after the quote you cherrypicked. For all intents and purposes you are not able to unionize because you aren’t protected under the NLRA. That is just how it is at present in the US—I’m still surprised you’re trying to dispute this basic fact. Perhaps you live in a different country with saner laws. Again, this is a complex subject, and I’m not sure why you are so confident about your lack of knowledge. EDIT: I think I get it now—chriseaton is from the UK and is unfamiliar with US labor laws. In the US the primary purpose of unions is collective bargaining (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_unions_in_the_United_States https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_unions_in_the_United_S...). Independent contractors very much cannot join a union for the purpose of collective bargaining, which is confirmed in both my reference and their reference. The NLRA, which empowers employees to form unions and collectively bargain, explicitly excludes independent contractors (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Labor_Relations_Act_of_1935 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Labor_Relations_Act...). I should have noticed his misunderstanding earlier.
