Labour party, CWU contribution.

Post by East stand »

Because of the total lack of support from the Government and charges of being irisponsible by Gordon Brown and his Ministers. Is it not time for our Union Conference to say " we are stopping our contribution to the Labour party because it is of no benefit to our members.

Moved to Union room,there's loads of topics on this as well,and seems to be the general feeling.
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Stop Our Cash Going to New Labour!

GO FOR IT NOW!

Everyone phone CWU HQ for a form to withdraw from the political fund today. Cut your money going to our enemy.
Do'nt fall for the CWU HQ endorsed conference reolution giving them a year to amend their ways or else!!! This will be after the General Election. Cut it now. It may be only 10p or so a week but times that by probably 10's of thousands of members! How about selecting our own candidates to stand on a good platform! :nana

the political fund dont go straight into labours pocket its used to sponsor mps and fight in the past tory plans to privitise us amongst other things and when this subject always comes up at branch meetings,agm and conference i have always took the view held by HQ that its better to keep it and maintain a voice inside goverment

BUT

after recent events and mr browns and most of the labour party front bench comments and the lack of input to help resolve this dispute

I WILL BE CANCELLING MY POLITICAL LEVY

as a protest on the goverments handling or lack of in this dispute
