It's not like you can just decide one day that you're in a union now. Do you guys even live in the real world?

  You actually can, if everyone else also decides that at the same time. That's the necessary and sufficient condition. It reduces to a coordination problem. If everyone wants to unionise, the only hard part is doing it: but that is only as hard as just… doing it. If you think you'd benefit from a union, then either: (1) you're an outlier (unlikely); (2) you're mistaken (possible); or (3) many of your colleagues would also benefit from a union. Talking to your colleagues about unionising (over a communications channel not controlled by your employer) is a sensible next step in each of these cases.

    >if everyone else also decides that at the same time You realise that this is a show stopper, right?

      Considering that many unions exist… no, it's not. It's easier to start a union now than it was back when unions were invented.
