UDR Story

  • 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.

The new assault goes further as the anti-union right seeks to end or drastically curb the very principle of collective bargaining itself.
     
  • Court officer's plan to clean up NYC Carpenters
    In December, in his report to the judge on the first six months of his court-appointed stewardship--70 pages loaded with a mountain of explanatory attachments--Review Officer Dennis Walsh makes a convincing case that he will really try to clean up the corruption-ravaged New York City Carpenters District Council. The effort has been a long time in coming. 
     
  • Clyde Summers, 1919-2010

    Clyde Summers, who died in October at 91, played a central role in shaping union democracy law. 

  • After 20 years, federal prosecutors convince the judge -- Drastic new move vs. NYC Carpenters corruption

    In June, upon application of Federal prosecutors, Judge Charles Haight appointed a new Review Officer to monitor the New York City Carpenters District Council and invested him with sweeping powers in the hope of ridding the union of corruption and restoring democracy.
