Unions also call for strikes as a centralized authority, which the US populace completely lacks. When France had those huge labor strikes a few years ago it was all called for by 5 or 6 unions.
I tell everyone I know to sign a strike card at https://generalstrikeus.com/ but that platform is fully decentralized. Right now it takes several days for another 10K signatures, and the critical mass we're trying to achieve is 11 million. Yes, it's the best option I've found, and YES that rate will increase exponentially the more people who get involved, but is it efficient and timely? No, but it's the best we've got rn because the power of labor unions has been purposefully dismantled over decades.
