Auditors sent in poorly organised workers (5,9)

I believe the answer is:

trade unionists

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'workers' is the definition.
(trade unionist is a kind of worker)

'auditors sent in poorly' is the wordplay.
'poorly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'auditors'+'sent'+'in'='auditorssentin'
'auditorssentin' is an anagram of 'TRADE UNIONISTS'.

'organised' is the link.
This may not be right. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
