The official term is collective bargaining, usually it’s performed by a union, but it can take other forms.
The modern implementation is that either you meet our demands/come to an acceptable compromise with us, or we all will, as a group, not do the thing that makes you money (aka, we will go on strike).
Companies either play ball or lose productivity.
Collective bargaining is lawfully protected in most first world countries, so retaliation against the workers or even a single worker can result in legal action and/or fines against the company.
The bottom line for any company is to make money, so when all the workers stop doing their jobs at once, money stops coming in. So companies tend to listen to unions because they have the power to significantly damage the companies ability to generate profit.
