Are you a member of a trade union but not a member of the Labour Party? Well rather than automatically having a say in the direction of the Party in areas such as the vote for the Leader, you will now need to sign-up individually and become a "Trade Union Affiliate Supporter".

It's totally free as the GMB Union is affiliated to the Party and means the voices of the 6 million people trade unions represent will be heard loud and clear in our Party.
