Does anyone know if something like Prospect exists in the US? In the U.S. the only unions I'm aware of are collective-bargaining type per-workplace unions, where either your workplace is unionized (and therefore has union representation) or it isn't (and therefore doesn't). When I worked in the U.S., I was unable to find an organization that would let you join individually, and then provide employment advice and representation. There are professional associations like the ACM, which you'd think might provide some employment & advocacy type services, but the ACM at least doesn't provide anything like that. I'm not sure if that's because of American labor law making such an arrangement difficult/impossible? The Danish quasi-equivalent to the ACM, IDA [1], does provide those kinds of services, but the labor system is quite different overall.
