The GMB is campaigning to defeat the BNP. Wherever BNP fascists are standing in forthcoming elections, for councils or parliamentary seats, activists from this union will challenge them.

We will expose the truth.

The BNP is a racist party, a party built on nothing but violence and intolerance, threatening Britain's most vulnerable communities. We will explain to voters, face to face, why a vote for the BNP is a vote for hatred.

BNP and other fascist organisation membership is incompatible with trade union membership.Therefore the GMB through Target BNP calls for:

* Legislation to delay trade union membership of those who are members or active supporters of fascist organisations.

* A co-ordinated national & regional campaign against the BNP and other fascist organisations.

* Support for positive policies on the development of social housing, the introduction of contract compliance and the development of local health care plans. These are some examples of tackling urban blight and would help regenerate our workplaces and communities.

* To mainstream anti-fascist,anti-racist political activity throughout the trade union and Labour movement and into our workplaces and communities.
