For those who have not been able or not as yet downloaded the latest Unite e-activist, (see previous post) the press have now picked up on Derek Simpson's lead article from web based bulletin.
So here is what The Press Association is saying:
Union seeks support for families
A senior union leader has accused the Government of supporting the lifestyles of the "wealthy and privileged" rather than hardworking families.
Derek Simpson, joint leader of Unite, said more should be done to support public services and groups of workers such as agency staff.
In a message emailed to hundreds of thousands of union activists, Mr Simpson said billions of pounds were being spent propping up the money markets on top of the huge loan to Northern Rock.
"At the moment we are paying through our wallets and purses but if things get worse, a full-blown recession could mean paying with our jobs.
"If the Government can magic tens of billions out of thin air for its financier friends, so it can also afford proper pensions, rights for agency workers and a fully-funded public sector.
"The freezing of the credit markets, the collapse of Northern Rock, fears over the property market and plunging share prices are all failures of the private market system.
"The private market system has never performed in the way its protagonists suggest. The more it is left to its own devices the more it exacerbates booms and slumps.
Unite said it was mobilising its activists across the country to get involved in Labour to change party policy, warning that support was being lost because of its failure to deliver on core issues.
"The Government seems to focus on supporting the lifestyles of the wealthy and privileged rather than hardworking families who want affordable housing, fully funded public services, job security and a decent pension in retirement," added Mr Simpson.
