Are you in the US? I just tried that for my job and found exactly as many options as expected. I'll give you 0 guesses how many it was.
I am not, which I realize is a huge privilege at this point in history. I've gone ahead and just searched workers union in atlanta (first city that came to mind) on duckduckgo and found this: https://ufcw1996.org/
You can also join the international version of the union which i am a member of. They're more radical and demand system change and quite large, depending on the country: https://www.iwa-ait.org/
I realize that the us has been completely gutted in terms of unions. That does not excuse not trying to join one and it is exceedingly stupid to blame anyone but the powers that be for this.
Individualizing systemic oppression is one of the largest weapons against an organized population. Making you hate your neighbor, the local soup kitchen etc for some bogus reason is what isolates people an makes them easy to manipulate.
Keep that in mind if you get frustrated with democracy inducing organizations sometimes not being perfect. "Perfection" is another bogus idea of our sick system. "Works" is what we should strive for and noting more because that means more exploitation of life.
I wish you a good read and feel free to contact me if you need help.
