Unite the Union Internal Structure and how it works
Unite the Union is a membership organisation. In this video we explain in summary how the structures work and how we are governed. Members are elected into positions and represent members at every level of the organisation. If you think you would like to play a more active role call your regional office on 0121 643 6221 and find out what structures exist at your workplace and within Unite. This video does not cover all the possible ways to take part and there are many committees that you can join regionally and nationally. This is a simplified explanation to help Unite members get to grips with their Union.

    So , Sharon Graham , who supports Starmer , and will attack its own Irish union leader , who also allows racism from her reps , as free speech , but shuts down the "Oh Jeremy Corbyn , the big lie " film , which is also free speech is putting out this load of lies . What a contradiction she is .

    Keir Starmer does not give a Cr*p about the poor he is an hypocrite. According to Idol Net Worth, Sir Keir is worth an incredible £7.7million. His earnings come from his career in law and his political career. In 1996, when he was a self employed working as a human rights lawyer (reportedly charging up to £400 an hour on cases). He uses his land to house Donkeys but flatly refuses to house Ukrainians or the poor living in this country. His land could house 70 plus families in temporary accommodation. This guy does not give a dam about the poor. Sir Keir takes home £82,000 per year for being an MP. The Mail on Sunday published a story lambasting Sir Keir Starmer over the weekend - and ruffled a few feathers in the process. The story honed in on Sir Keir’s identity as a ‘man of the people’ who unlike most people owns seven acres of land in Surrey worth up to £10 million (as well as a lavish London dwelling worth £1.8 million). Keir and his wife Victoria, a solicitor, bought the house for £650,000 in 2004. According to “Idol Net Worth”, Keir Starmer has a net worth of £10 million. This is £6.3million more than the current Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, according to the same website.

    I’d like express not just my concerns but also the concerns of my fellow colleagues. I work for a well known car manufacturer in the West Midlands. We do NOT feel safe going to work. We walk in to a manufacturing plant that exceeds 350 people every working day, there are three shifts over a 24 hour period. The social distancing measures and procedures that are in place are simply NOT good enough and feel the companies concerned are simply ticking boxes in order to proceed with business and avoid litigation! We (the working class people of the West Midlands) feel like we are cannon fodder in the war on COVID. We need to temporarily close the larger of the factories in industry until the majority of people are vaccinated before the local NHS services are completely overwhelmed (they’re struggling at the moment) and we haven’t reached the peak of this wave yet!! If furlough has been extended until April then why aren’t we using it!???
