Labour Leadership Election: have your say

02.06.10 - Helen Symons

Today, the team at unionstogether are launching a new part of our website dedicated to making union members’ voices heard in Labour’s Leadership Election.

Over the summer, there’s going to be a crucial debate about the future of our Party, and we’re committed to making sure that the issues and concerns that affect trade union members are on the agenda. From ending poverty pay and improving job security, to celebrating and strengthening the link between the Party and the trade union movement, we’ll be making sure that union members have their say.

We have asked each of the candidates for the leadership to set out their stall to union members: you can read what they have to say here:

 

Diane Abbott 

 Ed Balls 

 Andy Burnham 

  David Miliband 

 Ed Miliband

 

And starting this week, every week of the campaign we’ll be putting union members’ questions to the candidates. This week, we’ve asked: ‘what do you see as the role of trade unions in the 21st Century’? Check back next week to see what they have to say. If you have a question you’d like to ask the candidates, email it to helen@unionstogether.org.uk and we’ll ask as many of your questions as we can.

The Labour Party was founded out of the trade union movement over a hundred years ago - together, we'll ensure that unions remain at the heart of the Party.
