I know you used to be able to do this. Does anyone know if you still can and how you go about doing it? Thanks.

I vowed to give Starmer a chance but I won't contribute financially to a party with him in charge.

When I joined I didn't want to pay the political levy but was charged it. I contacted HR and they moved me to the Opt Out rate, I'd guess that's still the way to do it,

Political levy and our Political Fund

Under trade union law, our political work is funded through a separate levy to our membership subscription. This political levy is 20 pence per week and goes into a designated political fund which is administered by the union’s Political Fund Management Committee.

The levy is optional – if you want to opt in or opt out of paying it please contact politics@cwu.org and include your postal address or membership number.

Branches and Regions both receive a share of the levy to fund their political work on our key priorities. Please contact them to find out more about the union’s political work in your area.
