Union vs Nonunion? When do unions help most?

I work for a “Small company” that employees probably north of 400 employees, in a “right to work” state. Our Night Shift is responsible for all outbound product that gets delivered next day to stores. With the hiring shortage we are less then a barebones crew working 12+ hours during our slow season. We feel that we’re being taken advantage of and want to protect ourselves and get what we are worth in terms of wages and benefits. But can you even unionize a single shift in a company? Especially one as “small” as ours? We just don’t know what to do and peak season is approaching quickly which is just going to lead to more walk offs and excessive hours. Any advice or experience would help.
