ARTICLE 2: STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES – 1. DEMOCRATIC
1. Unifor is a voluntary organization that belongs to its members. It is controlled by members and driven by members. Its role is to serve their collective interests in the workplace and in our communities. The life of Unifor is shaped by the essential ingredient of democratic participation. Democratic values are the foundation of all that we do. Our commitment to the principles and practices of democratic unionism define who we are and are reflected in our rules, structures and processes.

Our commitment to the principles and practices of democratic unionism define who we are and are reflected in our rules, structures and processes. It is due to this commitment to democracy that Unifor National supports fair and unbiased union elections, that no member of the NEB or any Unifor staff member will promote an individual candidate running for any Unifor National office. Unifor will allow those running for an elected Unifor office to be successful on their merit.
