Unite Community Leeds & Wakefield

Unite Community Leeds & Wakefield What is Community Membership? Unite Community is a response to the ConDem attacks on our class and community.

We are here to support our community and ensure a strong fight back Unite’s new category of membership brings people outside of the workplace into the union community, linking families and workplaces together to strive for a better, more caring society. Community membership places organising and activism at the centre of local communities: it provides a structure through which people can use their political voices to campaign for change.

Remember the “Tell Sid” campaign? Turns out Sid took us all for a ride.

Thatcher called it creating a share-owning democracy. In reality, it was selling off the family silver – public assets built by generations of working people, handed over so private companies could make billions.

Forty years on, British Gas and Centrica have made obscene profits, while millions of people have struggled to keep the heating on.

That’s what happens when you run essential public utilities for private profit instead of the public good.

Energy isn’t a luxury. It should be run in the interests of the people who rely on it, not shareholders looking for bigger dividends.
