Merger nonsense - The Times gets it wrong again‏

Hard on the heels of its recent disinformation on the UNISON staff pension scheme, today The Times gets it badly wrong again with its bogus story on an upcoming merger between GMB and UNISON.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6835133.ece As ever dressed up in the context of a 'threat' to New Labour it is a classic smoke and mirrors conference season story.

Although the two unions are seeking to develop a more co-operative approach, particularly at regional level, in the face of challenges to public services, there is no substance whatsover to this speculative report.
