The picture is usually the same: a small group of high-paid union officials, isolated from member- ship, run the union in their own interests. Even so, almost without exception, unionized workers have better wages, benefits, and working conditions than non-unionized workers in comparable jobs. "Better than nothing".is not good enough, however. How can our new union represent our interests better than the average, bureaucratized union? Under the OCC's pro- posed bylaws, union democracy is the difference. Accord- ing to the proposed bylaws: * the membership is the highest authority of the union * the membership decides the key issues at regular monthly meetings and special board meetings as needed + all union representatives are elected annually and subject to recall at any time. * the four paid officers earn no more than clerical wages an dwork as clericals half-time. " the membership elects the bargaining cpmmittee,, determines contract demands and priorities, and directs the course of negotiations with management; * only the membership can decide to strike, if neces- sary, to win a decent contract. " dues are set by the membership; the OCC will run on voluntary contributions after we've run our first contract. We CAN control our union and wield it, like a powerful sword, in our own best interests. We CAN begin to win better wages, benefits, and working conditions-through our democratic union.
