Unfortunately a union after the fact does nothing to help the workers.
Unions are great for ensuring that the profit from their labour; is fairly distributed.
If the company is unprofitable; forming a union to squeeze blood from a stone is not helpful. It will just hasten the demise. These tariffs, as others have pointed out are probably making their fixed term contracts into money losers.....We don't have all the data, but it is quite likely.
And from a personal point of view, smaller companies tend to care more than big ones....I've worked in both. Being 1 of 5 is great, being 1 of 15,000 not so much.
