About Association for Union Democracy The Association for Union Democracy ( AUD ) is the only national, pro-labor, non-profit organization dedicated solely to advancing the principles and practices of democratic trade unionism in the North American labor movement. It is the premise of AUD that internal democracy makes unions stronger and better able to fight for the rights and interests of working people. We provide organizing, educational, and legal assistance to those fighting for greater membership control of their unions. As a non-partisan organization, AUD does not support or endorse candidates for union office or particular policies within unions. Rather, AUD supports actions which strengthen the democratic process, promoting membership participation, free speech and fair elections, so that union members can shape the direction and actions of their union. AUD publishes "Union Democracy Review" and other literature reporting on the efforts of union reformers and analyzing developments in union democracy law. AUD has advised thousands of unionists private sector and public sectoron their rights and how to defend them. We refer union members to attorneys with union democracy expertise, when necessary.
