I'm involved in a union organizing effort right now, and most of the main organizers are self-described Trotskyists. They're pretty hierarchical, and I kind of don't know what to think of them. I'm worried they're going to fuck everything up.

Yes they're tankies, they worship the guy who murdered scores of revolutionaries, including anarchists at Kronstadt in order to avert an actual communist (anarchist) revolution.

I met with some UK trots 15 years ago and every one of them was a creepy brocialist. Made me lose all interest in socialism for a while.

Depends what other options you have, and how shit they are in reality
Personally I can't take any hierarchical organisation seriously, and although I'm occasionally in their presence I'm usually just waiting for it to pass while looking for people I might have affinity with on the fringes
Would it be possible for you to introduce texts for them to read that challenge their organisational structures?
More detail would be good if you could give it
