What you want is more people join unions so that eventually all jobs are unionized, because otherwise it’s hard to find workers. That will lead to a different dynamic between employer and employee.
One thing you can do now is join the iww for example. They can’t help you if you are forced to take a shitty job now, but if more people join you’ll eventually have power at your job.
Pretty easy if you’re not just focused on your own immediate benefits…

This will get you to be a union member and you will be able to bargain collectively.
The high paying jobs will come once enough people are organized in your industry. You can’t have it the other way around.

I’d be unemployed, who would I be collectively bargaining with, the welfare office?
There’d be no high paying jobs, because those jobs go to the union guys. The guys in the union I am not in. Because I’m still on the waitlist.

If nobody joins nothing will change for sure

More people would love to join the unions, but they can’t, because they’re on waitlists to join the unions.
If the IWW can’t help you actually get into your local union, then they’re not helping anybody.
