Numero - I don’t think that any of my postings can be considered a rant nor even a rave . Like you I have been here since before the last dose of unpleasantness which resulted in the 49ers and so I am deeply pragmatic about what the HKAOA can achieve , or more pertinently CANNOT achieve. But I do think that the Union should provide some kind of buffer between an aggressive, confrontational Management and the Members. To recommend a “Yes” vote seemed to fail us all. Perhaps there is some substance in remaining in the HKAOA just to vote “NO” but ultimately what will happen? Nothing. Therefore I see no reason to remain engaged with a Union which does not act as a Union.
No rant.
I just do not see the point.
