Can we somehow get organized to push back on all abuses by the management? Has this ever been attempted before?

If something is wrong at IBM then you should speak to a manager. Your best option is to uncover who is behind the resource actions, outsourcing and co-locations at Big Blue and then get a hold of this person's manager. I have found from experience that IBM managers never side with their employees when a complaint is raised.
With the exception of the company president, everyone has a supervisor. You need to get hold of an IBM manager to have the abuses halted and set this individual straight.
Sure. It's known as self-nominating for an RA.
Lee Conrad led a heroic effort to organize IBMers for many years, as the IBM Alliance as part of one of the unions. Not enough IBMers signed up. I bet a lot of them regret it now. Without a union, you are at 'at will' employee and they and do whatever they want to you.
There were attempts to unionize IBM for 30 years, bu they never went anywhere.
