We understand many members may think the word “union” comes with a negative connotation due to personal experiences however that is the fault of leadership in many cases and not the hard working rank & file union workers. MSAC aims to protect rank & file union members from their own leadership’s waste, fraud and abuse and educate them about where their union dues are being spent through publicly available LM-2 forms.
