| Industrial and other unions have been increasingly professionalized. Paid, full-time officials carry out more and more ofthe “business” of the union, with less and less left to regular members. Is such a model sustainable? Can such unionsboth defend their members in a wide variety of workplaces and engage in more extensive recruitment efforts? Unions are facing increasing challenges to self-governance and internal democracy, be it in terms of renewing the role of delegates andstewards, coming to terms with the diversity of their membership and the values of new members such as youth, womenand visible minorities. |  |
