Does anyone have knowledge and or experience with forming a union in the US? After doing some mild research I failed to find a union that represents telework / work from home employees, specifically those who are facing return to office mandates from their corporate overlords.

I have been thinking about the possibility of an international screen workers' union. My own job is in translating, but there's millions of people doing data entry, AI-related stuff, graphic design, devloping etc. on a kind of semi-freelancing basis, often via job platforms that keep part of our earnings. I've often thought a union to bring all this workforce together would be great.

I know nothing about how an international union could work - need some smart people to help.
