Merseyside MPs to lose union’s financial backing
Jun 17 2009 by Rob Merrick, Liverpool Daily Post
Wavertree and Wallasey are among 64 constituency parties funded by Unison.
It gives more than £100,000 every year, which works out at around £1,600 for each of them.
Ms Eagle, who is also a treasury minister, was not available for comment last night.
Ms Kennedy, who quit the Government last week, over Gordon Brown's leadership, said: “I understand the concerns that Unison are raising and the issues like, for example, the privatisation of Royal Mail and I share their concerns.
“My relationship with Unison goes back over 30 years and I have a close and friendly relationship with union members and that will continue, whatever they decide to do in terms of supporting my constituency.”
