So never can be organised by a union.
The strongest motivating force I have seen in my life -- ever -- is when a person feels a sense of duty toward a group of his colleagues (for whatever task). This does demand leadership and an environment where it can happen.
This force transcends just about everything. Fear, self-interest, money, food, water, you name it.
But it is sometimes difficult to attain that leadership and culture.
