I think the challenge is a bit misunderstood online. The challenging part by far with forming something like a trade union is to gain the influence, not how to wield it. It is having a high participation rate, a strong organisation, institutions and a war chest is the hard part. Actual influence will then be largely automatic just by existing. In general only weak organizations need "activist activities". A strong union's activities would be ongoing negotiations, legal cases, education, conferences, media production etc. That would form the culture more than any sort of code.
