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.

Organize labor unions.
Labor Unions are organized to help labor. There are two types of labor unions, Craft Unions for workers in a certain skill or trade, like masons or carpenters; and Industrial Unions that are made up of all the workers in a particular industry. The Auto Workers Union is an example of an Industrial Union and the AMA is an example of a Craft Union.
Labor unions played a crucial role in improving working conditions during the rise of industry by organizing workers to collectively demand better wages, safer environments, and reasonable working hours. Through strikes, negotiations, and advocacy, unions raised awareness about the harsh realities of factory and mine labor, pressuring employers and governments to implement reforms. Their efforts led to significant legislative changes, such as child labor laws and workplace safety regulations, ultimately transforming the labor landscape and enhancing workers' rights.

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.

The labor unions.
Trade unions or labor unions were formed to bargain for better pay, hours, benefits, and working conditions. Most major industries today have labor unions to protect their workers.
The goal of labor unions is to make sure all unioned employees are treated fairly. There are not as many labor unions as in the past.
