It is! At least to an extent. This is people already trying to form a union, and the downside is that they are not militant because it isn't actually organized around getting better pay and conditions, but about having an officially protected say in the work chosen by the company (for example).
This includes people demanding a disinvestment from war and war contracting, people demanding BDS (opposing Israeli apartheid), people demanding contracf employees (who are treated like full-time employees but poor compensation and protection) become full employees with benefits.

it would be nice if that were true
