Unite Union

The Unite Unions decision to bankroll the Labour Party to the tune of 11 million pounds in my view is the final straw. I have torn up my union card in utter revulsion at the behaviour of the Union leadership and urge all anarchists and anarcho syndicalists to evaluate the role of trade unions as a bulwark of capitalism. What conceivable purpose can be served by continuing to remain or work within such morally and politically bankrupt organisations. The time has surely come for all radicals to consider alternative forms of grass roots organisation. The trade union movement in Britain is moribund and offers no prospect of transforming society.
