does that work better than jumping to a preferable employer (assuming such is possible)?

Yes, it means they cant pick you off one by one, but have to negotiate against a group that has real leverage

That assumes everyone has that option. There's likely not enough "preferable employer" jobs for everyone to have one in many sectors.

There's also a divide between tactics efficient at the individual level and that efficient at a national or global level. E.g. you can tell an individual they should be a doctor/lawyer/engineer/etc and that's good advice, but if everyone does it then who grows food and cleans floors and etc?
