But we have these movements and they don't really seem to be changing much. They help but for the large scale changes that are necessary they have to be linked to real power
But I do agree if the workers organization really only consists of one specific slice of the population it will also basically suck ass (kinda like what's happened with feminism and how it mainly caters to the needs of middle and upper class women) and I don't know how you would work around that other than maybe hoping the demographic shift dulls the edges of that particular issue.
In short, support social movements, including unions, if they are strong enough, it will force a state response. If they state is too weak to make adequate concessions, it will be forced to respond violently. This will remove facade over the state and reveal it's true nature: the violent maintenance of class. This will galvanize the militancy of the people. The people, thus galvanized, will produce a professional revolutionaries. The professional revolutionaries should, imo, apply mass line to win the trust of the people through examplary service. Having won the trust of the people, they can unite the social movements against the state. Smash the state, create a dictatorship of the proletariat, and then defend it against the intesified class conflict characterized by the counter revolutionary forces.
