When you see posts by Labour MP’s such as Richard Burgon MP back unions
When you see posts by Labour MP’s such as Richard Burgon MP back unions such as in this case RCN Nursing Union, one must also remember that many unions provide Labour with a lot of money.
My understanding is RCN does not fund Labour (affiliated), though I may be wrong. However this is unimportant to my argument, because one presumes that if your a Labour P, then your going to have to support unions who are not affiliated as one suspects they want to be seen to promote all unions in order to keep ‘affiliated; unions happy.

One must question if Labour MP’s promote unions because they believe in them or simply are getting funded by the unions.
When we see such posts, should one see them as a promotion or even an advertisement for the union.
And should one see unions as a business. An ideal socialist business in the sense that often workers only have one union to choose from, and so the unions can charge what they want and workers have no option but to stay with the union rather than choose a union that may charge less and provide a better service.
What too for the workers who choose not to strike?
The left claim to support minorities, but one suspects any worker who chooses to work and ignore the strike will be made to feel uncomfortable. Often in past strikes such workers may have faced being assaulted or there house window smashed. And will Labour MPs speak up for those workers or ignore them?
So how independent are Labour MP’s towards unions and who do they put first? The voters or the unions that fund them?
Then again if I was an MP and a business funded me, then in truth I too may be tempted to promote that business or service.
