Len McCluskey and Union GS Woodley |
Exclusive! We covered
last week the apparent failure of union officials to deliver at least one box of 'Vote McCluskey' leaflets from their offices (McCluskey's campaign slogan is "
It's time to deliver").
Well we have hold of another email expanding upon the subject and reproduce it below.
Incidentally '
Failure to deliver' sums up neatly all three of the management candidates in this election - McCluskey, Bayliss and Cartmail; The UK's largest union and biggest provider of funds to the Labour Party (
£5 million a year) can't even deliver
100 Labour MPs when it needs them.
Brian Rice is a long standing member of Unite's Executive Council and a Senior Rep at Bombardier Aerospace.

Subject: Ref General Secretary Election
Hi Jimmy
I would like to make a formal complaint about what appears to be a systematic abuse of the rules governing the forthcoming General Sectary's Election.
My complaint centers around a number of things which i believe contravenes the notice sent to all Unite employees from the joint General Secretaries dated June 2010.
I would refer to Paragraph (a) of this document:- the corporate identity and logo of the union and the unions resources, which include the unions membership databases, must not be used to support any particular candidate in this election.
Firstly on the 13th October 2010 at a meeting in the Antrim Road with the Power Workers, it would be my understanding that literature in support of Len McCluskey was offered to the representatives in attendance
