Unison: 'Coalition are the real enemies not the trade unions'

Proposals to change the link between Labour and the unions have been approved at a conference of party members by an overwhelming majority.

Leader Ed Miliband had urged a "one member, one vote" system for leadership elections and an end to the automatic affiliation of union members.

Unison general secretary Dave Prentis told the BBC his members want Labour to stand up for the people, but that "the coalition are the real enemies, not the trade unions".
