  Laborer-LIUNA-Dissent: Is Democracy Good for Unions?-Steve Fraser
Partisans of union democracy from the left, on the other hand, were and are motivated by a genuine commitment to one or another version of social democracy, a commitment that can be moral, strategic, or both.
Moreover, unions, unlike other popular formations, are compelled to assume multiple and not always compatible roles: as vehicles of democratic expression and mobilization, as a kind of diplomatic corps engaged in closeted negotiation, as combat organizations imposing a solidaristic discipline with which to confront a centralized enemy utterly unconcerned with niceties of democratic procedure.
All in all, union bureaucrats are presented with proliferating incentives to hold onto power and opportunites to enrich themselves well beyond what might bedefined as "normal." This structural dynamic of American trade unionism accounts, in part at least, for why the crusade for union democracy seems interminable and interminably futile.

  Union (American Civil War) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the American Civil War, the Union was a name used to refer to the United States, the northern states that did not secede.
Since the term had been used prior to the war to refer to the entire United States (a "union of states"), using it to apply to the non-secessionist side carried a connotation of legitimacy as the continuation of the pre-existing political entity.
Also, in the public dialogue of the United States, new states are "admitted to the Union" and the President's annual address to Congress and to the people is referred to as the "State of the Union" Address.

 American Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Union forces in the East attempted to maneuver past Lee and fought several battles during that phase ("Grant's Overland Campaign") of the Eastern campaign.
According to data from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, the last surviving Union veteran of the conflict, Albert Woolson, died on August 2, 1956 at the age of 109, and the last Confederate veteran, John Salling, died on March 16, 1958, at the age of 112.
Clara Barton became a leader of the Union Nurses and was widely known as the "Angel of the Battlefield." She experienced the horror of 16 battles, helping behind the lines to heal the injured soldiers.

The Union was a name used by many to refer to the northern states during the American Civil War, while the derogatory name for people in the north was "Yankees".

 eBROG - The War for the Union by Clash of Arms
Union is the latest in a not-very long line of efforts to simulate the ACW on a single map.
One of Union's problems is that the designer seems not to have realized that the problem with the Union's leaders was not that they moved too slow, or that they were tactical buffoons, but that they rarely moved off their collective duffs in the first place.
But in the west, superior Union leadership, a Confederate front that even Marlborough would have been hard-pressed to hold, and the implementation of a pure-Grant, grind-it-out offensive eventually produced the major break-through in Tennessee that allowed the huge, and competently-led, Army of the Ohio to slice through the Confederacy like that proverbial hot knife.

 The Working Stiff Journal -- Steve Fraser   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
And it is undeniable that many unions degenerated in just this way, presided over by incompetents, crooks, petty tyrants, or just plain timeservers whose ties to the work-a-day world of their "clients" had gone extinct.
Union functionaries, certainly in the formative period and sometimes well beyond that, are themselves the most combat-hardened, articulate, politically alert, and devoted of democratic activists.
Once upon a time the direct (rather than convention-delegate) election of union presidents, the tethering of local business agents to their immediate constituents, and similar expressions of direct democracy were considered the elementary forms of the good union.

The Union was made up of the states that had not seceded from the United States, which turned out to be the northern states (by northern meaning north of Mason-Dixon Line).
These states were states in favor of preserving the Union and, to a lesser extent, abolition slavery.
The president of the Union at the time was Abraham Lincoln, who had been narrowly elected in 1860.

 Awau
Established unions insisted that particular groups of workers, regardless of the auspices under which they were first organized, be turned over to the AFL affiliate that normally represented those with similar skills or functions.
Union sentiment had flared up in the wake of World War I, and small groups of left-wing activists and skilled tradesmen kept a union presence alive through the 1920s and early depression years.
By 1935, however, union sympathizers and other militant workers had gotten themselves elected to serve in dozens of these organizations, often called "company unions." With at least 90 percent of the workers in basic steel enrolled in these organizations, company unions, though disdained by trade unionists, had begun to attack management policies.

In 1927 the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union, founded by Sidney Hillman, was the first union to organize and sponsor a housing cooperative under the 1926 housing law.
The International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union, headed by David Dubinsky, was invited by the United Housing Foundation to become the financial sponsor of the new cooperative which the union agreed to after reassurances that the mortgage loan would be insured by the Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency.

 Union Soldier In The Civil War
This friction, however, was to subside drastically as the war dragged on and foreigners came to be respected for their soldierly qualities.
This was due mainly to the fact that during the Civil War the armies were for the most part made up of citizen soldiers, who either belonged to state militias before the war, or who joined them after the war began.
And even after the bloody battles were over, Union and Confederate soldiers aided each other with the gruesome task of burying the dead and attending to the wounded.
