Next week CWU will announce plans for a ‘consultative ballot’ of members in relation to it’s affiliation with the Labour Party. It is not yet clear the exact proposition of the ballot but it is likely that it will be a direct ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on maintaining it’s affiliation to the Labour.
There have been rumours for some time that the Billy Hayes, General Secretary of the CWU, has been contemplating such a ballot of it’s membership.
In some ways the ballot can be seen as a referendum on the direction of Hayes’ leadership of the union and his ousting of pro-Brown opinion inside the union.

Considering Labour’s attitude towards the unions, I assume the reason much of the union movement continues its affiliation with the party is historical inertia.
“It’s” is short for “it is” and is not the possessive form; that is “its”
Reactions: Twitter, blogs
