I think the political levy part of the subs should be directed elsewhere. Might as well give it to the Conservatives for the amount of support given to the CWU by Labour.

some areas have already stopped paying labour out of cwu subscriptions. You know you can ask your union reps for a form to stop labour getting any of your own personal subscriptions.

"i think" it might be possible to ask for the political levy to be removed, so your subs are reduced as your only paying the CWU

i think = source of info is from a colleague who said he was able to do it

Indeed your colleague is correct - I however would rather stay in it so that when the vote for disaffiliation is held I can have my say.
