Acrobat PDF version Labour Link News listing >		Promoting UNISON in Labour Promoting members' views and UNISON policies UNISON members have a very direct way of getting their message across to politicians - through political lobbying. When you join UNISON you are given the opportunity to opt in to what we call the UNISON Labour Link (formerly known as the Affiliated Political Fund or APF). 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. At the Labour Party's National Policy Forum in Warwick in July 2004, the affiliated trade unions, including UNISON reached agreement with the Labour Government on a wide-range of future policy commitments. In common with other unions, we now need your help to ensure that the Labour Government is supported through a third term to see those commitments through.

Equal rights for agency workers (01/02/08) UNISON is stepping up attempts to secure protection from unfair treatment for UK agency and temporary workers when compared to permanent staff.
