"Zack Polanski has kicked off a charm offensive designed to convince trade unions to stop funding Labour and throw their weight behind the Green party, as he delivered the first in a series of speeches to union conferences."
"The Greens have enjoyed a huge boost in polling since their first national byelection victory in Gorton and Denton, and the party's membership has tripled in England and Wales since last September to about 200,000."
"Working class people are increasingly looking to the Greens as the only party which will tackle the cost of living crisis and stand up for their rights."
Zack Polanski is initiating efforts to persuade trade unions to withdraw support from Labour and back the Green party. He has engaged with ten unions, including some affiliated with Labour, and plans to address more unions in the future. While some unions, like Unite and Unison, remain committed to Labour, internal discussions about future affiliations are ongoing. The Green party has seen a surge in membership and polling, positioning itself as a viable alternative for working-class individuals facing economic challenges. Polanski's strategy focuses on building union relationships to replace Labour.
