  • Awesome volunteer, exciting project

    Recently, AUD has had the good fortune of meeting Madeline A. Youngberg, a recent graduate of NYU film school with a penchant for union democracy. Youngberg and AUD have begun an exciting new project - a Union Democracy documentary. While production is in the beginning stages, we have high hopes for the project, given Youngberg’s talent and enthusiasm.

    The impetus behind the project is to spread the word about union democracy in as many media as possible. In addition to its final full length form, we also plan on posting short segments of this documentary on our website using youtube.

  • Thanks to our membership, the Union Democracy Archive is ready to take off !

    In the last issue of the $100+ Club News, we asked our members to help us create a Union Democracy Archive. Without exaggerating, I can say the response was tremendous! Within a few weeks, we received enough donations from members to buy not only the scanner, but also a media drive where we can store the soon to be digitalized history of union democracy.

  • Acerca de la Asociación para la Democracia Sindical

    La Asociación para la Democracia Sindical (Association for Union Democracy o AUD) es la única organización nacional, pro-unión, y sin fines lucrativos dedicada únicamente a fomentar los principios y prácticas del sindicalismo democrático dentro del movimiento laboral de Norteamérica. AUD apoya la idea de que la democracia interna fortalece a las uniones y las capacita para luchar por los derechos e intereses de los trabajadores. Proveemos asistencia organizacional, educacional y legal a aquéllos que luchan por lograr que los miembros tengan mayor control sobre sus uniones.

  • ¿Qué es la Democracia Sindical?

    [add pdf version?] Nosotros presumimos de tener un “movimiento laboral libre” en los Estados Unidos. Para ser verdaderamente libre, el movimiento laboral debe garantizar ciertas libertades a sus miembros: libertad de expresión en el trabajo y en las reuniones de la unión; libertad de prensa; libertad de reunión; elecciones libres con conteos honestos; juicios justos ante comités imparciales. En resumen: democracia sindical significa que existen libertades civiles para los miembros dentro de la unión.
