Haymarket Books | Union Democracy: The Power of a Democratic Labor Movement @HaymarketBooks | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 22 hours ago.
Join us for a live streamed session from the Socialism 2023 conference, in Chicago.
———————————————————————
The labor movement has seen an encouraging uptick in organizing, worker militancy, and public support of unions in recent years. But it's not enough to get workers into unions — to fully use labor's power to change the world, we need democratic unions. This session will feature discussions with three rank-and-file union members whose unions are central to key recent struggles and either have carried out purposeful democratization strategies or are in the midst of doing so.
———————————————————————
Speakers
Terri Houldieson is an autoworker, member of UAW and Unite All Workers for Democracy
Sean Orr is a UPS driver and Teamsters Local 705 member
Alex N. Press is a staff writer at Jacobin who covers labor organizing.
Quentin Washington, trustee of Chicago Teachers Union Executive Board and elementary school teacher
