The triangular relationship between workers, employers & the Labour Party is getting more fraught as power looms in the mid-distance...
Business want to influence Labour not to 'over' regulate their business, unions want to ensure their members (and other workers) have rights restored & extended.... and the Labour Party, what does it want?
Well, in the age of declining mass-membership, it needs wealthy donors; the unions can wield their contributions but may be outgunned by business interests?
@ChrisMayLA6 It seems to me that Labour's transition away from union funding/influence is complete as their policy is now that of neo-liberal capitalism. Any policy that principally benefited the workforce (for instance ending 'zero hours' contracts) has been either watered-down or has sunk without trace.
