A STEP FORWARD TO A GREAT UNION - the Communist Party has sent its congratulations to Unite AGS Steve Turner and the hundreds of branches which nominated him. Steve’s positive message of unity, leadership, opposing austerity and ‘fire and rehire’ and campaigning for a.... 1/5
...green industrial strategy to fightback against unemployment, has resonated with thousands of members.
Steve’s programme shows how the union can return to its organising and fighting roots. This has attracted support from many members including amongst those branches...

...which have nominated other candidates. Now those members can have their say. Steve has shown leadership and maturity, not getting involved in petty squabbles and name-calling, attempts to grab headlines or turn the election into a Labour Party affair.

Parties are instruments of the class they should serve, not the other way round. The widespread appreciation for the way Steve has campaigned and his message demonstrates that elections can strengthen unions rather than weaken them.

Hundreds of Communist Party members who are also members of Unite can now help take the campaign forward and go all out to win new forces for a revitalisation of a great union, Unite! @SteveT_Unite@unitetheunion

This centenary year has seen a resurgence in publishing of books and pamphlets by the Communist Party. 📚
It has been a year where we discovered much about our history and the members who contributed so much to the shaping of the modern union, women's, anti-racist anti fascist, anti-imperialist and peace movements.
