you would probably know that CTU kicked out the "pro" union bosses (who "follow accomodationist strategy", to put it kindly and mildly), elected new rank-and-file leadership of their peers and de facto turned from corrupt hierarchic organization to democratic and horizontal grass roots movement with unity, pride and spine. Occupy union happened.

Nothing stopping people from copying the success, members of old unions occupying their union from accomodationist bosses, occupying work places with new unions. That's already happening and we the 99% can help by spreading the word.
