Look What's in the Tories' First Budget.
A great poster which is being put out on billboards across the country - paid for by UNISON’s GPF fund. A simple and very direct graphical political imagine which goes straight - to the “point”!
bill - there is no choice whatsoever for any trade unionist but the positive one for labour. labour has been contitutionally part of the union since merger.
So its labour or its tories - you choose.
we know trots love the tories in gov best 'cause they can have loads of protests and chances to sell their newspapers.
Respect and the Greens are certainly a more obvious choice in place like the East End, Birmingham and Brighton. Caroline Lucas, George Galloway and Salma Yaqoob would certainly be a refreshing contrast to New Labour's sugar-coated capitalism.
They all have policies that support trade unions (unlike Labour).
So they're successful entryists: putting their organisational interests before those of members, so what?
There is the choice of neitehr of them, and concentrating on the union struggle to defend our members' interests without the hamstringing association with a political party.
The labour movement is the trade unions, the Labour party and the socialist societies. Working class affiliates of pre-merger UNISON have always been affiliated to the Labour Party from get-go.
The idea of Peter Mandelism “ordering” Dave Prentis to follow a particular line is just laughable and frankly ridiculous.
The working class have always bought influence and change by affiliation to the Labour Party - not by childish self indulgent and pointless calls for “revolution by syndicalism”.

Given that the Ad names the Tories, it will have to be declared as a registered third party spend for the election.
Also further proof that the GPF is really a fund for the Labour Party entryists in our union to play with.

No they don't! Apart from no hoper Lucas they support vile sectarian extremism.
