I notice that the AEEU is putting up promotional posters in my workplace, why you should join AEEU, this maybe because of the impending merger vote of AEEU and MSF. It might be in response to the growing interest in ALAE (I wish) but the posters are very persuasive, very high quality and not opposed by management. In contrast ALAE promotional stuff isn't very inspiring and has a habit of being there one day gone the next. Having said that, why not belong to both (like me) at least you get the advice to suit your situation. It is all a bit of a joke really as the AEEW has almost achieved single union status here. I wonder if the human rights legislation can stop an employer insisting you belong to a "recognised" union?
