also can we post some syndicalist and deleonist theory in here?
There are five links to tons of theory, I would be more interested in personal experience.
In the US, labor unions (thats what they're called in the US) have fought for a lot of shit. Many liberals will take credit for worker programs and protections, but without socialist unions striking, the vast majority of those things wouldn't exist. Not only that, but I remember reading how unions played a role in the civil rights movement.

Used to work for Kroger, joining their union is obligatory to work there.
They were just corporate's HR department, they 'negotiated' a significantly worse contract for us last year, and lied to the proles working there to get support for it.
Through numerous troubles like obscene working hours and my department having 2 workers fired and 2 more transferred away, they did nothing to pressure the company to hire more. I and a 55 year old lady had to work 80 hour weeks for 2 months before they hired anyone.
I'm a member of my city's IWW. By far it is the best leftwing group in my city because it's actually focused around working class organizing. We do a lot of work with incarcerated workers too and it's pretty cool that a couple of guys in the union now had a one point been in prison and helped either by us or another closely affiliated left wing group while they were inside.

Jesus Christ m8 that sounds horrible. In what way was your union structured? I have a few friends who work for Kroger's but I've never asked them much about their union.
