The US specifically structured its labor laws to prevent sectorial bargaining and the kind of labor power that exists in Europe. That’s why we have company-level unions. Our country will also quite violently suppresses all protest movements and empower those on the right to maim/kill those who oppose elite economic interests. While we certainly need more unions, this in itself will not resolve these problems any more than more unionization in Russia would overthrow their oligarch class.
