Dear Sharon,
I have had to leave Unite on a matter of principle. I asked three times if Unite was going to continue funding the Labour party which is complicit in the Gaza genocide and you failed to answer. I have to conclude that the Unite leadership have changed their long held views about supporting the Palestinian people and decided to ignore them and the mass murder of ordinary men, women and children. Moreover I think your continuing support for the Labour party which is no longer part of the Labour movement, means that you serve the same masters as the Labour party and never did support the oppressed Palestinian people in the first place. I have experienced this before as a Momentum member. I’m sure you know what I am talking about.
Anyway I stopped my direct debit the other week. I can not support any organisation that supports genocide. I joined a new party of the left called the Transform Party and as a socialist I will be fighting to bring about the conditions throughout the land that will nullify the need for any trade union. You should have been doing that anyway but you enjoy the status quo and posturing rather than actualy wanting to improve life for ordinary people.
Yours sincerely,
Pauline Stoker
Dear Ms Stoker,
Thank you for getting in touch, your concern about union funds going to the Labour Party has been
noted. Apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
Please be advised that our most recent Rules Conference voted against proposals to disaffiliate from the
Labour Party. However, we have made it clear that there will be no blank cheques for Labour.
UNITE’s executive committee have made publicly available the union position regarding the situation in
Gaza, for ease of reference this is attached here: Unite calls for an immediate ceasefire (Fri 3 Nov
2023).
I am sorry you have left the union. If you would like to discuss this matter further please let me know.
Yours sincerely,
Josh Berlyne (he/him)
Organiser, Unite the Union
So my conclusion is, All unions are suspect and I assume must be infiltrated by the state in much the same way as American unions were infiltrated (By the MOB who were being run by the CIA I guess).
Pity it took the Gazzan genocide to reveal the hand of Human Kinds only enemy. The dark side of our Human Nature is that enemy and the battlefield is not Gaza or Ukraine but the Armageddon within each of us. Incidentally physical Armageddon is a hilly area somewhere in Israel so I hear. Interesting no. xx
