Opt Out of Paying Labour - Plaid Cymru

[Morris Onions]

Plaid Cymru supports the unions and actively encourage our members to join a union. We also value the good political work that unions do and think that it is important that people support the General Political Funds that many unions use to campaign for better and more equal rights for all workers.

We also believe that union members should have the right to decide for themselves whether or not the Labour party is representing their interests. At the moment many union members do not realise that they are paying money to the Labour party.

If you do not want your union money to go to the Labour party then create an email to your union by clicking on the logo below. Fill in your name, address and the date and send it. Your union will then stop giving your money to the Labour party.

1. When you join a Union....

...you have a little box on the form that you can tick to ensure that none of your money goes towards the political funds. I ticked that box myself when I joined the CWU so the Labour party did not get any of my Union fees.

And back then I had a union rep who was an active SWP member so he of course wanted to discourage us from letting the Labour party have any of our fees anyway.
