This discussion paper was prepared by Matthew Taylor, then Assistant General Secretary of the Labour Party, and John Cruddas, then Deputy Political Secretary to the Prime Minister.
It was discussed at a Unions 21 seminar which looked at how trade unionists can effectively involve themselves in the newly reshaped policy making structures of the Labour Party. The paper outlines the principles which lie behind Labour's new policy making processes, it describes how these processes are encouraging new levels and forms of participation and, finally, examines the opportunity Partnership in Power offers trade unionists.
