Text Box: Election fraud in unions debases the integrity of the labor movement as surely as counterfeiting debases the nation's coinage. Stealing elections does more than cheat one individual candidate to the advantage of another. It destroys confidence in union government; it undermines the basis of free democratic trade unionism; it destroys the right of workers to control their own unions and imposes an officialdom upon them. By defending honest elections, we defend the labor movement and uphold the character of unions as genuine workers institutions. Honest elections bolster confidence in union leadership as the genuine choice of the members.
