Tower Hamlets Trade
Union and Labour Party Liaison
Organisation
There are
17 trade unions currently affiliated to the Labour Party at
national level. On affiliation to the Labour Party, every union
automatically becomes a member of the National Trade Union and
Labour Party Liaison Organisation and its General Secretary is
entitled to sit on the National TULO Committee, if they are an
individual member of the Labour Party. The Committee is jointly
chaired by a member from the union side, currently Tony Dubbins,
and the Labour Party Chair, Harriet Harman.
Locally,
in Tower Hamlets, there is also a TULO organisation which
exists:
· To
co-ordinate trade union support for the Labour Party at election
times such as trade unions for a Labour Victory and Trade Unionists
For Labour;
· To act as a
channel of communication between the Labour Party in Tower Hamlets
and its union partners on an ongoing basis.
Local
Affiliations
Trade
union branches or regions can affiliate to CLPs if they have
members who are registered to vote or who reside in the geographic
area of the CLP. Unions affiliate to CLPs at the rate of 6p from
the Political Fund per member - but with a minimum of £6. An
affiliated trade union can send up to five delegates to the
Committee, although if the union has more than 1000 members living
in the CLP, the regional director can vary this
limit.
If you
would like to affiliate your trade union branch to the local Labour
Party please contact the local Labour
Party Secretary: secretary@towerhamletslabour.org.uk
