| A powerful right-wing union currently under investigation by the royal commission into union corruption has had its formal influence in the Labor Party slashed after it was caught grossly inflating its membership numbers.
The Transport Workers Union has been forced to write down by more than half the number of members it claims in NSW, the branch from where the union draws much of its influence and nearly half its national members.
The admission follows reports in Fairfax Media last December that revealed the TWU rorting as part of an investigative series into union slush funds.
Labor sources said the TWU was now claiming just 17,800 members in NSW; it had previously told Labor it had more than 38,000 members.
