Revolutionary unions must foster international solidarity by rejecting the nation-state and militarism. That means organizing across borders and down global supply chains.
Please study the works of the late Dr Gene Sharp. He told us how to have a successful revolution.
He wrote From Dictatorship to Democracy, and there's a documentary about him called "How to Have a Revolution." It used to be up on YouTube but now you might have to buy the DVD. It's for sale on eBay.
In Europe the unions are international, across the borders of the 27 countries that make up the EU. They cooperate and share policy ideas and collaborate of policies for the European Union to implement, such as laws to put worker representation on the Boards of larger companies, and legal rights for people made redundant, and maternity and paternity leave, and keeping the job open when a woman has a baby, and much more.
On a different point, I have never understood why unions don't take over the training to do their particular skills and jobs, from apprenticeships and into professional qualifications and management training. Is it had done so worldwide 50 years ago, by now millions of company owners and directors would be former union members and the entire landscape of management and government would have changed.
