According to Labour Research magazine (September edition), the general union Unite has announced the launch of a community membership scheme.
On offer is cut-price membership of 50p a week for students, the unemployed and single parents in a drive to organise in local communities as well as workplaces. This is a small, but very significant development.
It will enable the unwaged to become active within the Unite union and the wider movement including trades union councils.
