Organizing workers in the fast food industry is difficult in that tenure among workers is usually shot. Also, many workers are college students on a Summer job. If the wages for new workers are minimum wage, workers expect more than that to join a union. In right to work states, organizing may be impossible.

Although there are general unions that will represent workers of any industry, the most logical route may be finding a union that represents your industry. I see you posted under the acting category, so you may want to start by looking into AFTRA. There are International Unions as well as local Unions, so you could also look into what unions are in your area and/or international unions listed by the AFL-CIO and Change To Win. Labor unions have organizers you can contact that (assuming they decide to try to organize your company's workforce) will begin an organizing campaign.
Craft unionism refers to an approach to union organizing that seeks to unify workers in a particular industry along lines of the particular craft of trade that they work in. it contrasts with industrial unionism, in which all workers in the same industry are organized into the same union, regardless of differences in skill Craft unions - organizations of workers with similar skills Industrial unions - are organized by industry :)

Organizing stoppages.
In the 1800s, labor workers responded to abuses by big businesses, such as poor working conditions and low wages, by organizing strikes and forming labor unions. These unions aimed to collectively bargain for better pay, hours, and conditions. The impact of labor unions on American industry was significant; they helped establish labor laws, improved workplace safety, and laid the groundwork for future labor rights movements, ultimately leading to changes in public policy and corporate practices.

Yes, employers can have an unfair tactical advantage in union organizing situations due to their control over resources, communication channels, and workplace dynamics. They often have greater access to information and can engage in anti-union campaigns, while employees may face intimidation or pressure when attempting to organize. Additionally, the legal framework may favor employer interests, making it challenging for unions to gain traction. This imbalance can undermine the fairness of the organizing process.
