The Association for Union Democracy (AUD) is the only national, pro-labor, non-profit organization dedicated solely to advancing the principles and practices of democratic trade unionism in the North American labor movement. It is the premise of AUD that internal democracy makes unions stronger and better able to fight for the rights and interests of working people. We provide organizing, educational, and legal assistance to those fighting for greater membership control of their unions. Read more about AUD.

  • Letter from the editor: So long but not good-bye
    With deep regret, I must report that I am stepping down as editor of Union Democracy Review. Starting in 1958, I have been responsible for these 193 issues of UDR, 42 issues of its predecessor, Union Democracy in Action, and a few special issues.  It adds up to 239 numbers over a period of around 53 years.  I have no idea if that’'s any kind of record for this type of  social cause publication. But it surely is an interesting statistical footnote.

Website Update

FInished migrating links from old AUD website. Sad to see how many great rank-and-file sites have disappeared. (You can always search for them using the Wayback Machine.) Now we really need new links to blogs, forums, websites, etc. Registered users can add websites directly. Please give it a try and let me know of any problems or suggestions. Thanks for your help.
