In this edition we have details of the new Partnership in Power documents which allow all trade unionists to have their say on what the policies of the next Labour Government should be & details of the new and improved support materials for TULO Officers.
We hope that you will enjoy the E-News and that you will visit www.unionstogether.org.uk to read previous editions of the E-News and find out more information about TULO and the work of the Trade Unions.

Trade unionists now have the opportunity to get involved in Labour’s policy making process – Partnership in Power.
Through Partnership in Power the Labour Party aims to constantly discuss and respond to the evolving challenges they face as a party of government. Partnership in Power recognises that the Labour Party stays relevant as a political party through its connections to, and involvement in, our local communities.
We hope that the new PiP documents will be used by trade union branches, as well as individual trade unionists, to spark debates, discussions and ultimately ideas in local policy forums and meetings across the country.
This is one of six documents produced by Labour’s policy commissions and the NPF. The six second year documents are:
• Britain in the World
• Creating Sustainable Communities
• Crime, Justice, Citizenship and Equalities
• Education and Skills
• Health
• Prosperity and Work
These documents reflect the comments and submissions received on the first year consultation document “Securing Britain’s Future” which was published in 2006. All six documents set out key challenges which have been identified by the commission and the National Policy Forum.
The Labour Party wants to know, have they identified the right issues and raised the right challenges? What are the broad issues they need to consider and address to meet the challenges in their next manifesto?
You can comment on these documents until February 2008. The documents will then be redrafted and considered at a meeting of the National Policy Forum in 2008. These final year documents will help shape the manifesto for a fourth term Labour government.
Information on how to make a submission, and to view all the documents, can be found here.
We hope you take the time to submit your views and help shape Labour’s next manifesto.

TULO has been working to re-develop our support materials for TULO Officers.
As a result of which we have a new design and content for the 2007 TULO directory & 2007 TULO Officers Handbook.
You can download all the new documents here. You may also like to click here to view the handbook online and download the various sample letters and materials for your own use.
It you have any questions about the Handbook or Directory please contact the Regional TULO Officer, Helen Symons, for more information.
