A union organizer is a specific type of trade union member (often elected) or an appointed union official. The organizer's role is to recruit groups of workers under the organizing model, may enforce work rules and also take on legal roles to represent the workers. Organizers also assist non-union workers in forming chapters of locals, usually by leading them in their efforts.
Being a union organizer can often be a hazardous job, especially in the global south[1], but it is by no means easy in industrialized countries either. Historically, unionization required immense personal sacrifices and struggle from the ones starting the organizing, but over the years, unions have been somewhat integrated in the Western power system, especially after World War 2.
The union organizers in Wikispooks tend to be "integrated in the system", as many of them attended the Bilderberg conferences as representatives of anti-communist unions or as state bureaucrats. Some have connections to the CIA or other intelligence services. This is often the case during regime changes.
The other type of organizer found in Wikispooks are victims of official harassment and arrests, where the police and judiciary takes side with the employers. These organizers are often found "dead in a ditch". There are companies that offer specialized services aimed at preventing the formation of unions, a long tradition including the Pinkerton agency.[2]
The mafia has infiltrated unions in the US for decades.[3][4]
