What's the union structure? How are organisational positions filled and how large is it? Opportunities to gather popularity among workers (or propel someone else to popularity) in order to switch up leadership?
A lot of these much larger unions make their leadership democratic positions. It's quite possible to get involved and take them over, even more possible than local politics in a lot of cases because there is very little large-money effort going on to fight for organisational power unless the unions also have voting powers inside a labour party in politics (like here in the UK).
