The common term for a group of workers looking to join a union is "Organizing."
Workers organize for various reasons, be it to improve their working conditions, increase their pay or benefits, and/or to create a better working environment.
The American Promise is that if we go to school, work hard, and become a productive and faithful employee, we can then expect to support a family, raise and educate our children, enjoy a healthy and fulfilling life and retire with dignity.
We weren't supposed to have to win the lottery, or be a corporate executive to enjoy the American dream.
