Labor unions today: "we'll help you organize and take the legal steps to get fair treatment."
Labor unions in 1912: "take this rifle. If your boss doesn't comply with our demands, shoot him and blow up his mansion."
One of these two approaches gets immediate results.
You get out what you put in with them. They will explain all the nuts and bolts to getting organized. But I wouldn't want them negotiating my contracts.
