Unison General Secretary Dave Prentis weighs in on GMB/Progress row

According to the Guardian, Prentis said:

“Progress seems like a party within a party. Our affiliation is to the Labour party. We don’t expect an organisation to be allowed to grow within it.”

The Guardian also suggest that Unison would back a motion attempting to “outlaw” Progress should one be brought to Labour Party conference.
