Political Page
Politics, I hear you
cry? "I bet that any money used goes to the Labour Party or some sinister left
wing group", well how wrong you are. Since the 1980's trade Union's have had to
have a separate political fund. This fund is used for the union and the local
branch to campaign on any political issues, to give a few examples of our recent
political campaigning can we remind you of "The Pink Elephant Campaign"
(off-shoring of call centre work) , break up of BT and privatisation of the Post
Office.
Locally we affiliate to all the local Labour parties, and use your money
wisely in promoting the best for members working in the Telecommunications or
allied industries .

From Richard Howitt,
Euro MP for East Of England
Dear Colleague,
TIME TO REGAIN THE INITIATIVE
Richard says it’s time to take the fight to the Tories, after the
mixed results for Labour in May’s local elections. The next
electoral challenge for the party will be European and County
Council Elections in 2009.
Richard campaigned with Labour candidates standing for Basildon,
Cambridge, Epping Forest, Harlow, Great Yarmouth, Ipswich,
Norwich, Stevenage, Thurrock, Waveney and Watford councils and saw
first hand the hard work of Labour activists in a difficult year.
