Usdaw and Labour – campaigning in partnership
|
An Executive Council Statement to the 2000 Annual Delegate Meeting. This document sets out how you can use Usdaw's links with the Labour Party to get involved in politics, to put over your point of view and to help Labour win the next General Election, which we all need to do to make sure that we can achieve the changes we need.
Politics affects all of our lives, but it can seem more and more remote. Everyone knows what they want to change, but it can seem very hard to get anyone to listen, let alone do something about it.
With over 300,000 members, Usdaw is one of the largest trade unions affiliated to the Labour Party. We have contact with the Party of Government at every level - from Labour Party members in constituencies across the country, to delegates at conferences, to members in councils and in Parliament. We are involved in politics to help our members achieve the change that they need. The Labour Government has spent three years working to undo all the harm of 18 years of Tory rule. There's still a long way to go and a lot that we want the Government to do, but we are impressed by progress so far. To keep in touch with their voters the Government needs to be listening to union members - how they are affected by new legislation, and what they think still needs to be done.
At whatever level you want to get involved, or however much time you are able to put in, this document sets out what you can do. To make a difference we need to get involved. Usdaw can offer you support to make sure that you get the most out of what you do.
