This is the first I've heard of "direct-join union"s. DuckDuckGo only brings up variations of this article, or the pages to join individual, employer specific unions.

Where can I learn more about this type of union? Is there one for US IT workers?

Seems the full name is "Directly affiliated local union" (or "federal labor union") unless I'm mistaken: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directly_affiliated_local_unio...
