The power of the Workers' Union in Bail Federal stems from their role in reconciling/controlling labor-capital relations.
When the workers' power is strong, they will side with the capitalists to help suppress the workers. This is easily achieved by providing more cheap labor to the capitalists, forcing those workers who wish to make waves to bow to the Workers' Union.
When the capitalists are powerful, they only need to create a few strikes during busy times, which is enough to make the capitalists agree to all their conditions without hesitation.
After all, the breach costs more than just a business deal; it includes all costs and massive compensations.
The Workers' Union has many ways to balance labor-capital relationships, which is why the largest faction within the Socialist Party is the labor representative faction.
