The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) of 1935 in the United States recognized the right of workers to join a labor union and engage in collective bargaining. This law protects workers' rights to organize and form unions, as well as to collectively bargain with employers.
This is commonly referred to as a worker's union. The group usually elects a group of representatives to deal directly with the company/management structure of the place they all work, or trade they are involved in. The group of workers usually pay fees or dues to the union organization for their representation/efforts on behalf of the workers, operating costs, legal fees, etc.. A union has both good and bad effects on a company and it's workers. I recommend looking into the pro's and con's of a worker's union before deciding to allow/vote one in where you work. Both the company and you will reap in the benefits they can bring and also suffer in the consequences that may come about in the future.
The workers went on strike to demand better wages and benefits from the union.
Yes and no: yes, if your civil union and marriage are both to the same person; no if they are to different people and both are recognized in your state. If you are in a state where your civil union is not recognized and you are married to a different person (presumably one of the opposite sex), then your civil union does not legally exist, only your marriage does.
The Taft-Harley Act of 1947 outlawed the closed shop, which required workers to be union members before being hired, as well as the secondary boycott, which involved boycotting companies that dealt with a company involved in a labor dispute.
In Oklahoma, a civil union is not recognized by the state, while marriage is legally recognized and provides couples with legal rights and responsibilities. Marriage offers additional legal benefits and protections, such as inheritance rights, access to healthcare decisions, and eligibility for tax benefits, that are not available to couples in a civil union.
In 1966, they recognized the union's right to represent workers.

The workers getting greater bargaining power happens when workers join labor unions.
Majority sign up or card check is a way a labor union can be formed in for the workers in the company. Each employee is given a card in which they state their desire to join the union. If the majority (more than 50%) of the employees state they want to form a labor union. The National Labor Relations Board oversees this process and requires the labor union be recognized by the company.
Membership in a labor union cannot be required in a right to work state. However, "right to work" does not benefit the worker. To the contrary, workers typically are lowered paid and have essentially no bargaining power when they are not organized as a union. The net result is that workers have poorer working conditions and pay.
