LABOUR LINK

When people join UNISON they are asked if they wish to pay into either the General Political Fund (GPF), the Affiliated Political Fund (APF), both or neither. Their contributions to the fund they choose are then deducted from their normal subscriptions payments - so you don't pay anything extra, you simply choose how your money is spent.

Contributions to the APF help to facilitate our lobbying within the Labour Party. This enables UNISON to push members' views and argue the UNISON case on policies and practices, 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. UNISON keeps up the pressure and use its valuable links to get UNISON's agenda heard.

The APF fund has been given a new more up to date name. It is now called the 'LABOUR LINK'.

RCT Branch is active in promoting the policies of UNISON and the interests of UNISON members at both National and Local levels within the Labour Party.

If you pay into the APF levy why not come along to the monthly branch Labour Link meetings, and get involved and have a say in Labour Party organisation, party elections and policy making. If you are interested in coming to the meetings and having a say, contact Ron Everleigh the Branch Labour Link Officer on 01443 682036.

Also if at present you pay into the GPF fund and would like to change it to the APF contact Ron and come along to the meetings, You never Know you may enjoy it!!!!!
