Principal founder of Association for Union Democracy
Herman William Benson (July 9, 1915 – July 2, 2020) was an American union reformer and machinist, who founded and led the Association for Union Democracy (AUD), based in Brooklyn, New York.[1][2] He fought corruption and racketeering within unions, defended rank-and-file union members' rights, and advocated union democracy for over 60 years.[3] Following his death, New Politics called him "the best known advocate of union democracy in left labor circles".[2]
