It's called solidarity. The IWW and the US Communist Party both welcomed immigrants of diverse cultural backgrounds and black people and women, based on class interests. This happened 100 years before the current "intersectionality" theory. The membership shared common interests and fought together to advance those interests. That solidarity "ameliorated" what are currently conceived racial and gender and cultural divisions. It was the capitalists who sought to stoke and exploit those issues in order to divide and weaken labor power. Later, the unions mostly abandoned this emphasis on inclusion.
You need a reading comprehension course. I said How can you ameliorate class issues? Issues is Newspeak for Problems, & problems must be solved, not "ameliorated." I'm talking about incomprehensible use of language, not union history.
In case you don't know, Unions raise wages, benefits, and improve working conditions. Working people have more power in the workplace with respect to capital and management. Organizing can lead to building more power for working people. Workers get along better with each other and feel a sense of solidarity that can dampen cultural and racial conflict. These relationships can transcend th workplace and spill over into the community. All these have materially beneficial impacts on working people. Consider that, while you look up the definition of "ameliorate".
Meanwhile, an overemphasis of identity issues divide people and provide no collective benefits, while capital and management benefit from those divisions. Get it?
