CAMPAIGN FOR AN INDEPENDENT INQUIRY INTO THE LONDON REGION OF UNISON

The four London Unison members as part of their campaign against being witchhunted by the Unison leadership have taken their case to an Employment Tribunal. Evidence was given during the first sitting that Unison paid officials were instructed to get socialist activists out of the union.

The attacks on branches and individual activists across London must be exposed to reveal the real agenda of the London Region officials and enable activists to build a democratic fighting union.

John McDonnell will be putting an Early Day Motion to parliament which will call for the setting up of an independent inquiry.
