When I started this thread I should have explained that I graduated with a Bsc (Econ) 42 years ago. I have always known my worth and never relied upon a Union to fight my case. If I didn't like the terms and remuneration of the job I voted with my feet. I should say I have never been out of a job ..ever. If out of a job short term the phone never stopped ringing. More to the point if I didn't like the boss...I left double quick..before I threw something at him ! !
Life is what you make it. If you ever think you have a hold on your Employers it will rebound big time.
#Why did I join BALPA?......I AM NOT SURE....It was too late anyway...I think it was a mad moment of solidarity. I am off from my present contract..something will turn up...but not until I have done a lot of networking..
Don't know who the lady is that keeps posting above...I think I will like to work for her...or socialise ! !
