Since half the states have a "right to work" law that says no employee has to support a union financially[1] it's much harder to start a union, especially for a multistate endeavor. With social media one would think it'd be easier to form up, but that same media can be used to slander unions and quash them before they even form. There's a lot of well financed and experienced Anti Union advisers that can inform as to how best stop a union from forming and somehow an anti union mindset has seeped into popular opinion like seen above.
Honestly seems like it'd take another great recession with the focus put on employee rights for major changes to happen. Luckily with Obama leaving he is finally lending some helping hand to Unions by making companies disclose when the get advice from anti-union advisers [2]
