CWU Labour party contribution

Post by jimmynailsalive »

Has everyone received a vote on whether they want to opt-out of contributing to the Labour party?

That'll be a big YES to opt-out from the Red-tories. Party seems to be more right wing than the SNP up here so not a hope I want a penny going Labour's way.

As part of the recent campaign to retain the union's political fund, we promised that we would provide all members an opportunity to stay in the political campaign fund but opt out or opt in of the weekly contribution to the Labour Party. This promise also mirrored the decision of our Annual Conference last year.

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.

According to the latest figures (May 2010 to December 2014) during this parliament the CWU has donated £3.08 million to the Labour Party. The CWU are funding a party that wants to saddle your children and grandchildren with massive debts so that it can buy votes today.
