Quickly to Bacis Tīs defense:
What have YOU done to recruit people?
Why are we (the members) supposed to recruit other members? Isnīt that BALPAīs job? Canīt they spend some our contributions on recruiting members on the mainland?
Donīt get me wrong, I always try to persuade the guy/gal next to me to join BALPA, but I donīt really have a strong case without any backup/support from BALPA itself.
Furthermore, I think that this whole story wonīt help BALPA much either. It just fuels the already negative feelings against BALPA, making it even more difficult for me to convince anyone to join.
For the moment I just stay member for the īlegal protectionī (for whatever thatīs worth
) but I donīt expect any improvement in our terms and conditions.
