More shameful and dishonest tactics by the leadership of Unite to quash support for Palestine. Our union has become a sad travesty of a democratic organisation.

We held our AGM last night (10 February). The current branch officers, with one exception (me), have been in the role for 6-10 years. They need some well-deserved rest.

If you are a member of the NG57 branch of Unite and interested in taking on a role as a branch officer. Then please DM me. Training and all the support you need will be provided.

Our branch does a wonderful job in supporting local, national, and international good causes. It’s not just about industrial action.

We have over 1500 members in our branch and unfortunately have not been quorate at some branch meetings.

Tony Greenstein’s reply to Sharon Graham’s self-serving Xmas member’s letter...

Dear Sharon Graham,

I will ignore all the self-promotion in your Xmas message.

Why is it that you have consistently and persistently failed to implement Unite policy on Palestine? Why is that policy not even on Unite's own website? Are international issues and Israel's genocide in Gaza not relevant to Unite? 'Workers of the World Unite' used to be the slogan, instead you support the use of 'British' arms against Palestinian workers.

You have done nothing to support the Palestinians in their hour of need, you haven't marched once on the Palestinian demonstrations in London. Indeed you have done your best to prevent others doing anything. Not once have you spoke out about the genocide.

Some of also remember the Unite statement of 16 October 2023 when you said that ' Unite unreservedly condemns and expresses its revulsion at the recent appalling acts of violence by Hamas against innocent civilians in Israel. We further deplore the subsequent suffering and loss of life being endured by civilians in Gaza. When it came to a resistance operation against a colonial power you condemned it and expressed your revulsion but when it came to Israel's deliberate attack on civilians in Gaza you merely deplored it.

In short you are an imperialist, a social chauvinist and quite frankly a racist since you consider the lives of the colonised as of less value than White and Israeli lives.

I don't doubt that you will continue to plough the same furrow as before but perhaps you will come clean on the strike of GMB members who work under your husband, who allege harassment and bullying. And perhaps you might care to comment on the Skwawkbox allegations that you ordered the destruction of evidence concerning the previous final warning that was issued to him for much the same behaviour.

Your decision to suspend those in dispute replicates the actions of the worst anti-trade union employers. Not a record to be proud of but one which didn't make your Xmas message.

Fraternally'

Our government and our politicians have been bought and paid for. They no longer work for us. What do you think?
