Here's how:
STEP ONE: Know Your Rights

It is hereby declared to be the policy of the United States to...encourag the practice and procedure of collective bargaining and protect...the exercise by workers of full freedom of association, self-organization and designation of representatives of their own choosing, for the purpose of negotiating the terms and conditions of their employment or other mutual aid or protection.

—National Labor Relations Act

5. The UN Declaration of Human Rights states that organizing is a human right.
Article 23.

(1) Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.

(2) Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work.

(3) Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection.

(4) Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests.

http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html


In Democratic countries formed after this document was written, the right to form trade unions is written into their constitutions. But we're the "leaders of the free world"? Yeah, right.
