Why would a union be company specific? It makes a lot of sense for a union to represent all workers doing e.g. car manufacturing.

This is how the NLRA has been set up unions in the US--generally to make unions weaker. Other countries have sectoral bargaining, which is what you describe
Why stop there? What if we even had a huge tent, available to workers from all around the world...
Yeah. We could hold elections for union reps amd call the dues "taxes" and the union "government".
