Who says they accepted to a man? Regardless, this motion will determine the future of this association (or lack there of).
If the motion does not pass two things will have been achieved:
1. Trainers have been rightly re-instated under the terms of their COS.
2. The DPA membership need not hold any illusions about representation.
It is a result we can work with one way or the other. We won’t have to pretend anymore that we are an association looking out for the collective interest and the company don’t have to pretend to negotiate with us. If the motion passes our colleagues can decide whether or not to take up a position and choose which interests they want to serve.
Either way we know what to do from here. That’s a good thing.
