Why is Unite still funding the Labour Party?

Unite, if it is to remain credible to its members, needs to consider its huge funding of the Labour Party whose Ministers seem happy to kick it where it hurts most.
Yesterday, Lord Adonis, the Secretary of State for Transport described the seven days of walkouts planned this month by thousands of members of Unite who work as British Airways cabin crew as "deplorable” and “totally unjustified".
If I was funding the Labour Party I'd be asking questions about why should I continue and consider whether there are other political parties whose policies and support would better represent my members?
Clearly, Lord Adonis is trying to sound tough ahead of a General Election but siding with an employer - British Airways - that unilaterally cuts people's pay and conditions is a disgrace.
It does not take a genius to work out that BA boss Willie Walsh is determined to destroy the union - yet they continue to support a party where one of the Ministers seems happy to support that action.
Isn't it time many trade unions, and not just Unite, look around and see whether there are alternative parties worth supporting?
NB Gordon Brown steps into the row with similar condemnation of only one side in the BA - Unite. Please see headline!

How not to run a company: BA lead the way

What sort of a company imposes new contracts on fresh recruits
paying them significantly less than current staff?
Well, not some tiny tin-pot organisation but British Airways, and it also imposes a whole range of changes without proper consultation with staff.
Don't they get it that to turn things around they need the backing of those that work for the company - and not treat them like dirt.
This type of macho management intent on crushing its workforce must be challenged at all times.
There was a 9-1 vote for a strike until action was blocked by the High Court last year, setting a very dangerous precedent. Given nothing has changed for workers, another vote in favour of industrial action can be expected.
The union Unite made a tactical blunder by proposing 12 straight days of action over the Christmas period. They can still force management into meaningful discussions without such prolonged strike action that alienates the public.
It's good that the union has made it clear it will not strike over Easter. Let us hope that once the vote is announced BA get back to some serious discussions with staff - and stop trying to crush them.
