  • Letter to the Editor: "A Flawed Referendum for Massachusetts Nurses"

    Dear Herman,

    Thank you for sending me the article "A Flawed Referendum for Massachusetts Nurses." I truly enjoyed reading the article and appreciate the time and effort you and your colleagues took to highlight the issues we are facing within our union.

    It's unfortunate that it took this issue for me to realize that organizations such as yours exist, but I'm fortunate that I had the opportunity to talk with you and your colleagues about our issues as well as learning about the Association for Union Democracy.

    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.
