 Union organizer    | |
|---|---|
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 were somewhat integrated in the Western system, especially after World War 2.
The union organizers in Wikispooks tend to be "the somewhat 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.
Apart from official harassment and arrests, where the police and judiciary takes side with the employers, organizers are often found "dead in a ditch". There are company's that offer specialized services aimed at preventing the formation of unions.[2] The mafia has infiltrated unions in the US for decades.[3][4]

| Philip Agee | “[CIA] operations help sustain favorable operating conditions for U.S.-based multi-national corporations. These conditions, together with political hegemony, were our real goals. So-called liberal democracy and pluralism were only means to those ends. "Free elections" really meant freedom for our candidates. "Free trade unions" meant freedom for us to establish our unions. "Freedom of the press" mean freedom for us to pay journalists to publish our material as if it were the journalists' own. When an elected government threatened U.S. economic and political interests, it had to go. Social and economic justice were fine concepts for public relations, but only for that.” | Philip Agee | 1987 |
