What do you mean by "self-managed unions"?

We mean unions run by and for workers themselves — the self-organization of the working class in a new kind of militant labor movement. When we talk about building unions, we don't mean unions like the national unions of the AFL-CIO which are run by bureaucrats. Even in cases where their leaders are sincere, the top-down structure of those kinds of unions leaves the members out of key decision-making and, at best, defends the lousy deal workers already have.

What is this "self-managed society" you are for? Is this socialism?

Self-management means having a say over decisions that affect you; it means having control over your life. This means people being able to collectively manage the industries they work in; it also means controlling the places you live in. Corporate hierarchies in industry would be dismantled and replaced by workers direct management, through democratic industrial organizations rooted in face-to-face meetings. To most people in the U.S., "socialism" means the government running things.

Frequently Asked Questions
A managed fund is a responsible, modern and cost-effective way for the Australian Government to manage its insurable risks.
