Promoting UNISON in Labour
Your contributions to this fund help to facilitate our lobbying within the Labour Party. Meanwhile our 
General Political Fund supports local and national campaigns and is not affiliated to any political party.
This enables us to promote members' views and argue for UNISON policies, which will improve working terms and conditions, help protect public services and create a better society. It's the opposite of a blank cheque for Labour. We keep up the pressure and use our valuable links to get UNISON's agenda heard.
