unionizer
Workplace collective advocate
A unionizer is someone who organizes workers to form or join a labor union.
The term can be neutral or carry connotations depending on perspective—management might use it dismissively, while labor advocates use it proudly: The company fired the unionizers before the vote.
Also called a union organizer.
