Employment Rights BillContribution
Accordingly, the payments I found looking in union accounts, such as to the Marx Memorial Library or the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign, will be hidden from the people who provided those very funds—union members—let alone from the rest of us. I am not sure which Minister is replying to this, the noble Baroness, Lady Jones, or the noble Lord, Lord Katz, but are they happy, as union members, that money they have contributed to a union will be paid to the Palestinian Solidarity Campaign? The noble Lord, Lord Katz, is wearing the yellow tag on his lapel, and I salute him for that, but is it appropriate that the funds of Jewish members of unions should be used to subsidise a cause that they are not comfortable with, or indeed any other cause?
