I would imagine RTO/co-working to be more of a benefit to union efforts, since organizing in non official channels is so greatly simplified.

It’s a double edged sword. It’s difficult to organize without using the employers resources.

Some companies aggressively police lots of behavior. Walmart considers outside contact with other employees as potential off clock work and will terminate if discovered.

The hyper-insanity over unions is really stupid. It’s really all about power and accountability. The inconvenience of having employees who can tell the emperor that he’s naked is drives the attitude. This is especially true at retail - lots of regional supermarkets are unionized and successfully compete with Walmart, despite Walmart’s advantage in purchase power and their carousel of the cheapest employees available.

Not if you can't afford to take the job because of commute/daycare/etc...
