Oh, but they are democratic -- except perhaps to those who don't believe working people should have a true voice in determining their working conditions. They often label unions as undemocratic as an excuse to suppress them and the workers they represent. I hope you don't really believe in that bit of thankfully outmoded 19th century philosophy.

Read what I said (alerts have been out for almost a week, now, or I would have replied.)
Unions are NOT democratic.

It’s a peculiar kind of democracy we’re bringing to Iraq. For like Saddam
Hussein before them, the U.S. occupation authorities are denying workers the
basic democratic right to form unions and to strike or otherwise protest
their working conditions.
We can argue whether it's a basic human right to form unions, but it is NOT a basic democratic right. For it to be a democratic right, the people as a whole would have the power to vote on whether works could join a union.
