Not going to happen any time soon. With so many sectors that will be hurting for so long to come and with high unemployment nobody with a job they want to keep will risk going into management's dog house for trying to unionize.
I worked a large global aerospace connector manufacturing company decades ago. At the place and time for a non union shop wages and benefits were excellent. A group of workers tried to get the union in there and the company was cool about it as they felt they could easily defeat the union push. They actually allowed the union reps on the property and let them use the auditorium to hold meetings. The union was voted down about 80-20. The people that vocally supported the union became targets and ended up forced to quit. Even though I was close to leaving for the land of self employment I was vocally against the union and found most of the pro union people as poor workers who wanted more pay and benefits that they did not deserve.
I believe in most cases unions do more harm than good these days. They have bleed a lot of companies dry. If you are well educated or skilled, or even someone who is not, but at least has a strong work ethic and is a loyal employee, you will find a decent job where you are appreciated and paid well and treated well for what you do.
