  • UNION DEMOCRACY = UNION POWER

    (Part One of a $100 Plus Club News Special Report on a University of Illinois Forum on Union Democracy & Effective Union Leadership)

    Incumbent union officers tend to think of union democracy as a threat to incumbent power. This is a basic misconception. Union democracy is about union member power, and union member power is union power. Because union democracy activism usually focuses on deposing corrupt, ineffectual, or uncaring union officers, it is not widely understood that an effective union is one that cultivates its members' power.
