No organization has been less responsive to its rank-and-file membership than the modern labor union, as practically every union member has learned through hard and bitter experience. Indeed, no other organization has been more susceptible to the illicit influence of organized crime. Marlon Brando's "On the Waterfront" is the classic exposition of this tragic theme In American labor history, and it remains as truly reflective of reality today as on the day it was released in 1954.
The influence of organized crime, combined with repressive labor legislation, has resulted in an almost terminal decline of union membership in the United States. But none of this need deter honest labor organizers - if, that is, they learn to appreciate an even more salient factor in this decline, which is the horse-and-buggy technology that is applied in organizing campaigns and the official administration of the union.
The Decision Management System [DMS] provides the key to self-organization of workers, putting them wholly in control of their unions. Using confidential, and even anonymous, systems of control, union officials, organizers, and workers may at long last cooperate together to free themselves from gangster lawyers and thugs, creating free organizations of co-equals in the struggle for fair contracts and working conditions.
A renaissance of labor organization is at hand. Please contact us to learn how the DMS can make this dream a reality.
