I’m currently studying software development and I had this idea come to me a couple days ago and wanted to share to see what everyone thought about it.
The idea is simple, a website where you can enter in your place of work and anonymously show that you would like to unionize. Each company (or location) would simply show a count of how many people are in support of unionizing. No profiles, no risk of your company retaliating against an individual, just a simple running count.
A lot of workers may be in favor of unionizing, but too afraid to bring it up to their co-workers or feel they’re alone in their support. This way you can take a look at your companies number and be able to tell if there is already large union support. Just knowing that over half of a workplace is in favor can be the difference between it being pushed for, or suppressed. If anyone likes the idea feel free to run with it
