Labor Leaders Supporting Union Democracy? (Re: Black Exodus

[Max Sawicky]

All that is well-taken.  I'm not on a mission re:
union leadership and rank-and-file democracy. I
have not followed such developments closely.
It's great insofar as Int'ls are fomenting
democracy in their locals; it does seem unlikely
they would so so in each other's locals.  That
would probably convulse the Federation.  We can
see how it played out with the IBT.

Funny you should say that, since at the National Lawyers Guild's workshop on
rank-and-file union democracy, organized by Public Citizen's main union
democracy guy, he along with a number of other union democracy lawyers noted
that while most unions are hardly thrilled at union democracy, in many cases
they have encouraged union democracy efforts in other unions they work with
when the corruption interferes with strong organizing efforts. . . .
