Unite has voted to suspend the membership of the deputy Labour Party leader Angela Rayner in a dispute over the Birmingham bin strike.
The union said it was also re-assessing its long-standing relationship with the party.
Unite has accused Birmingham council of being a "rogue council" and of trying to fire and then rehire bin workers on a lower salary.
Union bosses say Ms Rayner should have intervened in support of the staff.
