Rejected petition Stop Paying Union Officials

More details

Make it illegal for taxpayer pounds to be used to fund full and part-time union officials because doing so removes the right of those taxpayers who wish NOT to become involved in union activities to be able to do so. If Union members have to have part and full-time officials to represent them then it is they who should fund the scheme, totally, and NOT the taxpayer.
