View submission: Thoughts on how to accomplish this?
Imo US unions aren’t used to its fullest potential. This is exactly what unions do.
“Union-sponsored healthcare is health insurance coverage provided to union members and their families through their union. Unions can bargain for or directly administer health care benefits for their members.
Benefits Access Union workers are more likely to have health insurance coverage than non-union workers.
Cost Union workers tend to pay lower premiums and deductibles. They also spend a lower share of their healthcare expenditures out-of-pocket.
Quality Union-sponsored health plans can offer a range of benefits, including specialty benefits and stop-loss coverage.
Regular care Union workers are more likely to have a regular care provider.
Role of unions Unions advocate for better health coverage for all workers. Unions work to combat inequality in the healthcare system. Unions have been a critical factor in expanding access to healthcare benefits in the United States.
Examples of union-sponsored healthcare UnitedHealthcare offers health coverage to active and retired labor union members. The UFCW works to ensure that its members have access to affordable health care.

I could see this as a strategy to make striking more powerful, if healthcare wasn’t connected to employers it would be much easier for unions to go on strike. Especially in the direction we’re going, there’s gonna need to be a lot of strikes to win this fight.
