no need to classify as employees to form organised resistance. Look at the French Resistance in WW2, the American War of Independence!!!!

Correct no need to form a union for resistance.

Unions just have special protected legal protection that could be utilized in a legal battle or to threaten legal battles in order to get concessions.

Right now all there is is the threat of lawsuits, that Reddit will probably win, in order to threaten more lawsuits. The negotiation power to get concessions there is limited at best.
