Submitted by martin on 10 February, 2008 - 9:31

Conference believes that it is important for unions to have a political voice.

Conference notes with concern the Labour Party's decision at its 2007 conference to ban political motions from unions and Constituency Labour Parties.

Conference notes that unions concerned to promote working-class political representation have affiliated to the Labour Representation Committee. LRC affiliates include both unions not affiliated to the Labour Party, such as RMT and FBU, and unions affiliated to it, such as CWU, ASLEF, the Bakers' Union, and the NUM.

Conference resolves to affiliate to the LRC and work with other LRC-affiliated unions to promote the working-class interest in politics.
