Good question! One which has been asked for generations and one which I have never seen answered.

According to our Area Rep, whose word I trust, the CWU will be donating Â£400,000 to Bottler this year. Even if that amount was doubled, it wouldn't amount to much between those of us on strike. But, I'd rather light a bonfire with it than see Labour get a penny of it.
