Labour’s new overlord

Delegates of the Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union (EPMU) voted in favour of a proposal to merge with the Service and Food Workers Union (SFWU).

EPMU national secretary Bill Newson said the discussions had been ongoing for quite some time and it was a milestone for the merger.

The new mega-union will have massive power in Labour. This one union will control 13% of the leadership electoral college.
