Isn't that the appropriate time to unionize??
Unions have proven across multiple industries and several decades that this results in higher median pay … but much poorer quality and much increased safety risk exposure and much lower education and advancement opportunity in companies as age and seniority takes priority in promotion consideration … so why is this good for shareholders and more importantly, the individual employees whom have work ethic and desire advancement based on merit ? (Hint the answer is it isn’t … unions destroy companies quicker than any management structure possibly can as evidenced by the broad US history with unions).

It’s possible.
