Nor are the issues you encounter confined to the unions you mention, either. The best of the unions are those comprised and controlled by existing employees or those intimately acquainted with it’s memberships duties.

I can empathise with your experience and unfortunately for us, there’s no justice. We are fighting for our weak as p$ss unions to take action on one front, and on the other we are up against the employer.

Its not a good situation to be in, particularly when the legal instruments and industrial law framework work against an employees aswell.

I appreciate most of what I’ve written is not assistive. Good luck!
