Adding to what I’ve said: yes, being a known unionist can make you a target. This is why it’s a highly sensitive piece of data, and at least at work, it can be a good idea to not speak of it too openly to people you’re not sure you can trust.

I don’t agree they are the only way. Political parties are very much possible, and governments can enforce inheritance and wealth taxes, for example.
But they are a very good way, of course (not mutually exclusive at all with politics too!).
A simple example: Imagine a small business, 20 people and a boss. Boss is an asshole, demands unpaid overtime, and bad conditions (like working without gloves on ice cold items). If even half of the people in boss inc unionize, suddenly, boss cannot exploit them without risking bankruptcy.
In the US specifically, it seems like you first need to take back your government from fascism/trumpism, which is why ordinary can be exploited this much. That’s not an easy task, but please keep in mind that most people are not fully committed ideological fascists.
Unions also give you an insurance. They have lawyer experts for work and social policy matters, for example.
Besides the whole chicken and egg thing.
