STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES
Unions and a Democratic Society
In our society, private corporations control the
workplace and set the framework for all employees.
By way of this economic power, they influence
the laws, policies, and ideas of society. Unions are
central to our society being democratic because:
Unions bring a measure of democracy to the place
of work, which is so central to peoples' lives.
Unions act as partial counterweight to corporate
power and the corporate agenda in society more generally.
In Solidarity,
Your Committee
