There should be directly elected shop stewards who can be instantly replaced if they are not representing the workers. Going directly to other groups of workers for solidarity and collections instead of waiting for the wheels of bureaucracy to turn. Respecting picket lines from the start of a dispute, instead of waiting weeks (usually in vain) for the official Trade Unions - "all out picket". Defying anti-trade union laws like the UK and the Irish - Industrial Relations Act.
