This website is made possible by contributions from union members and supporters like you. Please help us build the movement for union democracy. AUD's Union Democracy Worker Education Project helps rank and file union members become better activists and organizers, by providing education in legal rights and organizing methods and techniques. We offer workshops, conferences, classes and publications for union members, representatives, and officers who want to build a strong and democratic union movement.
Many programs offer education for union members.
We are independent and we offer a unique perspective. Good union sponsored education programs will teach you legal rights and tools you can use to organize on the job. A few will even teach you how to participate in the union. But, you will have a hard time finding a union-sponsored education program that teaches workers how to fight for democracy in their union. That kind of knowledge and the way it can be applied in practice is just too controversial.
