I joine a couple of months ago, got my membership card through. Today, I got my first mailshot from them. I opened it just now, the return address on it is C.W.U SW19......
Just wondered why this was? Is it because LRC is tied strongly to the C.W.U does anyone know, or is it because of my Labour party / CWU membership, and the way stuff is sent out?
Just curious really/

The original Labour Representation Committee was formed in 1900 to fight for political representation for the Labour Movement. In Britain today we face a similar crisis of representation. The LRC has been re-formed to secure a voice for socialists within the Labour Party, the unions, and Parliament.
Never in the history of the Labour Party has the need been so great to make the case for peace and socialism. The advocates of global capitalism and war have taken control of the political agenda. The task for today's LRC, founded on 3rd July 2004, is to fight for power within the Labour Party and trade unions and to appeal to the tens of thousands who have turned away from Labour in disillusion and despair. Therefore we are calling upon all socialists, Labour Party and trade union members, constituency Labour parties and union branches to join our campaign and join or affiliate to the LRC.
The LRC is an open democratic organisation committed to the development of a radical policy agenda for the Labour Party and the trade unions. In particular we support:
An economic policy based upon public ownership and the democratic control of key sections of the economy, including an end to further privatisation and PFIs, direct investment in council housing and the public services, the re-nationalisation of rail, support for public service broadcasting and the development of an energy and environment policy based upon ecological sustainability and the needs of communities
A social policy based upon the redistribution of wealth and power, including the full restoration of trade union rights and an increase in the minimum wage, a decent state pension and the restoration of the link with earnings, the restoration of student grants, an end to top-up fees and to selection in education, the restoration of effective local government, the defence of the rights of asylum seekers, and the continuing fight against racism, sexism, homophobia and prejudice against those with disabilities
A foreign policy based upon peace, nuclear disarmament, human rights, an end to Labour's support for the US Republican right, the withdrawal of British forces from Iraq, and the struggle against corporate globalisation
A Labour Party policy based upon the strengthening of the Labour Party/trade union link, and the restoration of Labour Party democracy, the role of conference, local parties and activists in the policy making process
