	AMWU (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		When Labour were returned to power in their landslide victory in 1997, the GPMU already had in place an effective Parliamentary Group of MP’s, and that has enabled us since the Labour Government has returned to power to have a significant influence with regard to both legislation and Government policy in a number of areas.
		I know that both AMICUS and the GPMU are already in the forefront of pressurising the Government to put progressive policies in their manifesto and ensuring that those policies are activated when in power and I know our merger, when it takes place, will provide a stronger platform for influence and persuasion on the Government.
		The GPMU General Secretary, Tony Dubbins, was recently elected as Chair of the Trade Union Labour Party Liaison Committee, which is a direct link to Government Ministers including the Prime Minister, and provides the opportunity to articulate the views of the Unions affiliated to the Labour Party.

		GPMU is a British-based trade union, whose head office is in Bedford, England.
		The request for transfer – which represents the majority of GPMU’s membership in the Republic of Ireland – should be seen in the context of current speculation about the future of GPMU in the UK.
		The GPMU’s total membership in the UK and the Republic of Ireland declined from 193,416 in 1992 to 103,242 in 2002, with a 10% decline between 2001 and 2002 alone.

	Romeike Recognition Campaign: Letter To The GPMU (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		We wish to express our disappointment with the London Branch of the GPMU who we understand have abolished the position of Organiser.
		If this lack of concern and communication is indicative of the way the GPMU will behave in future, we wonder if we could be better represented elsewhere.
		It would be a sad irony if our activists were to feel that the best advice we can offer members is a switch to a union more interested in our welfare.
