For some strange reason you seem to associate anyone from the AN side of the tracks as being the current Secretary. I am not he, but I do support the individual (who was the only person to put his hand up and accept the job at the last election), having seen him in action prior to that time. He accepted the job
when nobody else nominated.
Everything on these threads topics are either hearsay, rhetoric or plain subterfuge unfortunately aided and abetted by the severe communication problem the ALAEA as with its members. And that is certainly not to say that they haven't dropped the ball on a number of issues and occasions.
Some of you long term QF soft c0cks (the minority thankfully) sit there and whinge and whine but when the opportunity is there to take control - such as the election after the AN collapse - you all disappear up your own fundamental orifices and then come back six months later to whine and moan some more. Instead of whining anonymously on a website, grow some testicles and nominate yourself. At least you'll be in a position to accept blame when next an EBA negotiation falls over because you're dealing with a ruthless bunch of
pr!cks who happen to be your employer.
Also, despite your beliefs, the Association is not AIPA - it purports to represent more than just QF membership. God help the rest of the industry if any QF people get the cohunas to stand - although the initial revelation that there IS an industry outside of QF may well be enough to kill you.
