Following months of tensions the major Labour Party affiliated trade unions have finally agreed on a common position over Brexit. They are calling for a referendum to be held over any deal (or indeed a no deal) between the EU and the Conservative government and they will use such an occasion to campaign for remaining in the EU.
On 08 July ‘tense but fruitful’ discussions were held between the Unite, Unison, GMB, CWU, and Usdaw unions. Wielding great influence within the Labor Party, these trade unions want the Labor Party to support and push for a referendum on any or no deal between the EU and the Conservative ruling government. The unions will also stand together and campaign to remain within the EU. This joint position is indicative of a softening in the Unit leader, Len McCluskey’s hardline stance against Remain.
