WHO ARE LABOUR UNIONS?
Labour Unions are the 11 trade unions that are part of the Labour Party. We bring the collective voices of 4 million people to the heart of the party and campaign for a Labour Government that will transform the lives of working people for the better.
The Labour Party was formed out of the trade union movement to give working people their own political voice. The link from the workplace to the party through 11 affiliated trade unions is what makes Labour unique. This link is more important than ever as we work together to tackle the urgent problems we face as a country, from stagnating wages to failing public services.
