I still cannot believe any trade union would make being a Labour party supporter a condition of admission, if it was a union affiliated in some way to the Labour party then that would be understandable.
Either way a link to the claim would be appreciated, one which tells the entire tale.

The union maintained it has a right to choose whether to admit an individual.

Sticking that quote into Google and doing a bit of poking around suggests it relates to ASLEF wanting to kick out a member who stood for the BNP in local elections.
