We are happy to announce a new UE publication, Member-Run Unions: A UE Guide to Democratic Practice. This 32-page booklet describes in detail how UE’s philosophy of rank and file control is best implemented in the day-to-day work of our union: bargaining contracts, fighting grievances, and running our local, regional and national union in a democratic fashion. It also includes numerous practical suggestions for how rank-and-file members can plug into the work of running their union.
An online version of the publication can be read for free at mru.ueunion.org. Printed copies can also be purchased for $3 apiece from the UE online store.
