Program Title: WINGS#33-19 Union Democracy
Description: Labor unions are starting to gain more recognition internationally as a legitimate element of a functioning economy. To be effective for their members, they must also be democratic. In this interview from 1996, the year a movie on her life was released, Kilmury explains the internal struggle for democracy in the Teamsters, and what a union can negotiate for its members, including women, in a capitalist world.

Host(s): Carol Stall
Featured Speakers/Guests: Diana Kilmury is famous for her work as International Vice President of the Teamsters Union and Co-Chair of Teamsters for a Democratic Union. She is from Vancouver BC. The film about her life, Mother Trucker, can be found on YouTube
