Why would a union be company specific? It makes a lot of sense for a union to represent all workers doing e.g. car manufacturing.

This is how the NLRA has been set up unions in the US--generally to make unions weaker. Other countries have sectoral bargaining, which is what you describe

Yeah. We could hold elections for union reps amd call the dues "taxes" and the union "government".
