Following a ballot of all members in 1995, UNISON uniquely decided
to have a political fund with two sections. Following a ballot in
Mrach 2005, 85% of those who voted said Yes to continue the fund,
which will allow UNISON to continue campaigning in the political
arena, including the current campaign to defend public sector pensions.
The General Political Fund (GPF) which finances political
campaigns in the wider public arena. It is not affiliated to any
political party - is used for general campaigning, for example the
long campaign for a Scottish Parliament. The branch can access these
funds when it needs to run campaigns concerning political decisions.
The Affiliated Political Fund (APF) or LabourLink finances our
affiliation to the Labour Party.
Members individually choose which fund to contribute to. They can
also decide to opt out of any political levy or contribute to both
funds.
