A Rank and File Perspective on the NUP By John H. Hovis, General President United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE)
One obvious fault with the strategy being put forward by the leaders of NUP is the lack of importance they place on membership involvement in the mass movement they hope to create and the lack of democratic principles within the organizations they hope to build. If democracy is a sound enough method of governance for our country, it ought to be acceptable for governing labor unions as well. I've never believed that union members need to be protected from themselves by their leaders, union professionals or other experts.------------------------------------------- posted 7:01 AM :: reference link ::
