Definitely get Tom Ferguson's book then. Sadly, I haven't found a pdf of it online but your library or Amazon should have it. He has a number of articles that should be interesting. In short, he explores how the opportunity cost of voting causes political systems to be dominated by moneyed interests. As labor organizes, it becomes a moneyed interest and is able to get into the political system, which affects the composition of the parties. I should be able to snag his scholarly articles if you can't get them through your university or wherever. He spends some time talking about Europe too, so you should be able to get some useful info for making comparisons.
I'm afraid I don't have much on China, probably because unions are illegal and thus quite small and powerless.
You can start by talking to coworkers that have the same issues at work that you do. In addiction and abuse treatment, I imagine there are many. Get a committee of people together and reach out to a union in that field, I think this would be SEIU in NNJ, but I don't know. They'll get you started on the organizing process.
Alternatively, I'm sure in your area of the country there are union employers in that field. Try to seek them out and run for office in your local. The labor movement needs passionate activists right now.
This is also a good (and short) book: https://www.amazon.com/Labor-Law-Rank-Filer-Solidarity/dp/1604864192/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1484749119&sr=1-1&keywords=gross+labor+law

Political mobilization, but you might find something useful. It looks like most of this comes from Green and Gerber's Get Out The Vote which is a bit out of date. More recent work is being done by The Analyst Institute.
> yes, I have A People's History
Why? :\^)
Look into some regional history. My great-great grandfather was there, and this is one of the best books I've ever read (Night Comes to the Cumberlands is number 1 for non-fiction/history)
I recently read this book called "They're Bankrupting Us!": And 20 Other Myths about Unions that I felt was pretty informative. I'm not new to unions (I work for one after all) but I learned a bit from it and it really breaks down some myths about them.
Read Salvatore's bio of Debs.
Than pick up Lichtenstein's Walter Reuther: The Most Dangerous Man in Detroit
Both are excellent (but quite imperfect) starts in terms of notables from the past. One closer to the beginning of the more radical labor movement in the US, and one at its nadir.
There is also the book "Steel Closets".
