I'm not sure of the legalities, but couldn't they independently organize and walk out en masse? Nominate (or, heck, even hire) a negotiator etc? It's pretty clear that what they have now isn't any good. $22 over 2000 hours is $44K pre-tax, of which some will be paid as taxes, and a good chunk (as much as 8-10K for a family of three, more with more kids) will disappear into the gaping maw of US "healthcare" system. That, to put it mildly, is insufficient by today's standards, with _real_ inflation clocking in at double digits. With inflation factored in, their union has effectively negotiated them a pay cut. That's supposed to be a "win"? "Seizing" anything is not a good option. It'll just get people shot who don't deserve to be. But there are a million and one ways to put the screws to the corporate, especially if the workforce is already convinced to operate as a united front in negotiations.
