So I am pretty naÃve perhaps on unions.
But I thought the way it worked is a bunch of workers agree to strike if their demands are not met.
There are many possibilities before workers withdraw their labour.
The union should advise their members about what they can aim to achieve and what legal ramifications exist.
They should be easier to deal with compared to 5000 ignorant people, although not as easy as 5000 people who sign any contract without asking questions.
While the employers can pay a retainer to HR experts, 5000 people need to pool their resources to get similar quality of legal advice. This should be the basic understanding, rather than "unions = strikes".
