Stiffco,
I may be a member of an association that is an associate member of the TUC, but I would prefer it not to be, and I don't subscribe to what you would call the principles of trades unionism, and would like to see the powers of unions further curtailed. If that's what you call a trades unionist, then yes, I am.
However, if your world view requires a member of such an association to respect trades unionist principles and act in solidarity in support of other workers, then you're mistaken. My world view doesn't, and that's what counts in determining my decisions regarding other groups' IA.
