In the most basic form you get together with the other workers at the job and form a pact to say that if the company does bad things to one of us we will all stop doing overtime, or go on strike, or do some other thing that would harm the company. This threat should discourage the company from treating its workers badly.
For large companies the unions will have some people employed as a go-between the managers and all the workers to bring up issues with managers, as having a meeting with every employee present wouldn’t be practical and individuals might not want to go to their bosses directly for fear of punishment.
That’s why you often have to pay a union at your work.
