Could workers not form a ‘dark union’, gathering members from as many different companies as possible without informing the employers up-front – gathering a strike-pay war chest before announcing any unionized shops? Then the next time they pull this, everyone everywhere quits out of solidarity. Draw from the war-chest to pay workers while the companies panic, and then dictate fair terms to return to work.
The huge difficulty would be keeping the membership drive truly ‘dark’ until it was large enough to pull off.
