MfD OpenForum: Pipe Trades for a Democratic Union By Frank Natalie
Somewhere along the road, the United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters (UA) international hierarchy has decided that rank-and-file members are no longer needed in the decision making process within their local unions. Instead, through forced mergers, mandatory by-law changes, and a host of other demands, our international leadership is seizing control from the rank-and-file, and methodically shifting that control to the UA's intermediate bodies. Their arrogant flawed notion that they know best defies the very essence of union democracy.
