Your right to form a union in the United States was enshrined in the Wagner Act in 1935 now referred to as the National Labor Relations Act.
Here's the language:
"The National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) forbids employers from interfering with, restraining, or coercing employees in the exercise of rights relating to organizing, forming, joining or assisting a labor organization for collective-bargaining purposes, or engaging in protected concerted activities, or refraining from any such activity. Similarly, labor organizations may not restrain or coerce employees in the exercise of these rights."
