Restoring Democratic Unionism Corporate Unionism (5)
By Harry Kelber Editor, The Labor Educator
Final Article in five-part series (October 4, 2004)
The AFL-CIO convention on July 25-28, 2005 in Chicago gives us an opportunity (it may be our last chance) to supplant corporate unionism with democratic unionism.
We will begin our campaign for union democracy soon after the November presidential elections. We will use the Internet for weekly analyses about what the New Unity Partnership and the.Sweeney team are saying and doing. We will post our own leaflets on major issues that can be downloaded, duplicated and distributed widely.
In the coming weeks, we will post the phone number, fax and e-mail address of the 54 members of the AFL-CIO Executive Council, that can be downloaded and ready for use when we need them.
If we want to have a say about how our dues money is being spent and know what policies and actions union leaders are taking in our name, we’ll have to start speaking up. It won’t happen otherwise.
Here are five important reforms that can make a difference in how we’re treated in our unions. And what each of us can do to make them a reality.------------------------------------------- posted 7:04 AM :: reference link ::
