The accounts for any trade union are a matter of public interest, and can therefore be viewed on the Certification Office website. The most recent accounts for Unite, 2009, can be found
Certification Officer - Existing Trade Unions
From my very brief scan there are several interesting things:
DH is NOT mentioned in the expenses list, even though some NIL claimants are. Why not?
LM only claimed 224, a lot less than other BASSA reps on the list, lower down the pecking scale. Why?
Fund 5, branch fund refers to BAeSSA. Presumably now known as BASSA?
So, am I right in thinking approx 7.2 million from BASSA in 2009?
Where o where has it gone? Someone with an accounting mind please decifer and regurgitate for us trolley-guys and -dolls please!
Wonder when 2010 accounts will be finalised?
