A large number of workers are employed in the IT sector and retail sector, where there is high job insecurity and attrition rates. Establishing strong unions for these sectors can help address many workforce issues and provide advantages for employees, employers, and enterprises.

So, who is to bell the cat? Since the employability of the IT employees is higher and the retail workforce is widely scattered, unionization is normally not possible in such sectors. Even otherwise, certainly the employers won't allow it to happen.

Uniting the disgruntled and dissatisfied insecure workforce is a little difficult in such sectors, but determined efforts can make it possible. The biggest problem is not their spread but the mindset of the people in these sectors and their attitude. In the retail sector, entry-level jobs are plentiful, as is unemployment, so people keep leaving one job after another. Another problem is the lack of fighting spirit and camaraderie in the white-collar workforce. Self-interest is more important than group interest.

Many of the unions exist to safeguard employee rights and job security. In the IT and ITES sectors, employees often earn higher wages and receive more benefits to retain them due to fierce competition between companies. However, there is significant attrition in these sectors, primarily because employees are not willing to commit to long-term employment, unlike in other industries.

Unions are good for industries with specialized jobs like airline pilots' unions. However, they are not beneficial to industries as human tendency leans towards wanting "something for nothing." This can be observed in scenarios where auto drivers sit freely and demand high wages, ultimately leading to their jobs being taken over by cab drivers.
The relevance of unions may become obsolete in the coming decade due to rapid attrition and industry changes driven by technological advancements. In conclusion, I would like to quote Darwin, "It's not the smartest or strongest who survive, but those who are most adaptable to change."
