A lot has changed. What hasn't changed is that corporations are often motivated by profit over employee well-being, and that strikes can put pressure on them to change.

> Fact is, unions are dying in the western world. Union membership is free-falling.

Again, quite US-centric. In the UK it's been slowly increasing over the last few years. Finland, Sweden and Denmark have something like 70% trade union density.

> If you strike now, especially if you aren't in a union, you should be fired. For each of those people that strikes over this, there's probably 50 people that would ecstatically take their job in the city they are in.

The first line doesn't follow from anything you've said. The second line is the most convincing argument for trade unions in this entire thread.
