The core of unionizing is getting the word out that unionizing is possible, beneficial and worth the risk. There are some places that tech can help, but largely it's a human-interaction problem. As an example, consider how to let someone know you're even considering unionizing. An app isn't able to find out who the people you need to reach out to are - that's work you'd have to do either way. It could automatically send a text or email when you've done that, but both of those are far inferior to just talking to the person. First of all nobody likes automatic messages and they're easy to ignore. Secondly it loses the ability to sound someone out slowly, which allows you to avoid dropping the U word and potentially tipping off management until you know the person. If its anonymous, the person is likely to ignore a message. Finally and most importantly, just info dumping union benefits comes across as a sales pitch and is very ineffective; it's better to have a conversation that gets to your co-workers needs at work and from there games out whether a union would help them.
