It's like chess, they won't move where you want them to move, until you force them to move there. How do you force them to move?
Strikes are a historical way of doing it. It forces them to move, but only after exhausting all other possibilities. Study the early history of the creation of unions in the US. You might be surprised to discover it was extremely violent, typically coming from the corporations. This violence typically occurred after the union was successfully formed and in operation.
The first trick with unionizing a non union company, because the US political parties have turned their back on them for the last 50 or so years, is undetected coordination. Companies will discover union leaders and remove them from the equation. Some companies will sense a union forming and close the entire operation and move it to a new location with new employees. They will also add plants posing as workers but really reporting to management. Also, the threat of moving the factory overseas is an overpowering factor for the company.
The end goal is strike, or at least show you have the ability to strike. That is the move that forces the company to at least think about moving where you want them to. To strike, you need to coordinate and early on, it needs to be undetected.

- Clubber 7y agoYou could certainly try it, but you'd have to be able to figure out and filter who the management plants were, otherwise your site/app could be used by management to actually discover workers who are trying to unionize.
