If you and your colleagues joined a Union, then the Union will then help you by contacting the employers about them recognising the Union, plus they will point out the law that applies, about actions that could be taken etc.

 

Suggest you find out who definitely wants to become a Union member and is willing to pay the subscriptions required. Then contact the Union that best suits the sector you work in and ask for their help in getting set up.
