General Secretary of the GMB Union - Paul Kenny

What will a change in Labour's relationship with unions mean for working class representation in Britain?

Britain's Labour Party was created from the trade unions and it still gets most of its money from them.

He says Labour is in danger of losing 90% of his union's funding. So what would a change mean for the Labour Party, the unions and working class representation in Britain?
