Oh, and people need to know they are not alone. Meetup to speak.

People don't need an union if they are happy with the situation.

But they may need first to share their concern in a place where confidentiality is granted (because we all have loyalty penalties made especially to block the possibility of sharing information). You might need a lawyer advice on how to make people able to share their mind freely.

People suffer, but they cannot talk met googlers and facebookers they were looking like citizens of former soviet countries fearing the snitches.

You will probably want a low tech organization to ensure a strong privacy of the meetups (word to mouth).

You may want people to sign anti-snitch agreement (that blocks leaks).

You will want to make all your possible to protect the confidentiality of the attendant of the meeting in early stages.
