The Workers Uniting Group supported Les Bayliss in the election. Les Bayliss has expressed his disappointment at the result and has thanked those supporters, members, activists and officials who supported him during the campaign.
The membership have spoken and have made a clear decision. The Workers Uniting Group congratulates Len McCluskey on his election and supports the decision of the membership.
Unite, like all unions faces major problems - not least the massive cuts in public services by the ConDem Government and on-going attacks on our members through anti-union legislation and the need to win back the Labour Party.
There is a need to unify Unite to defend members across the UK and Ireland and realise the unions full potential.

The good news regardless of who you supported, is the membership have made a clear choice which no one can argue about. Lets hope the three defeated candidates accept the result and rally behind Len McClusky and that he is a big enough man to embrass them in the future of Unite. Unity is the only hope we worker's have of defending ourselves
