I know people talk about the "legal protection", blah blah blah, but: *what* legal protection? Why don't I just join the TGWU and pay £11/month for basic employee's rights insurance? What *extra* do I get for my £50/month?

At the moment, I'm in the fortunate position of not having to have used any of these "legal services" that I pay for. I do, however, reap all the benefits of having BALPA reps negotiate pay deals in my company. Which I'd get even if I wasn't a member.

So I'm considering resigning and just joining the TGWU instead. Why should I stay? ]]> Terms and Endearment Rowley Birkin, QC http://www.pprune.org/terms-endearment/396490-what-does-balpa-actually-do.html Ryanair rostering http://www.pprune.org/terms-endearment/396462-ryanair-rostering.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:11:36 GMT Could anyone tell me if the Hahn base is on 5-4 or 5-3.
