I don't think that stating a fact is "slagging the union off!"
£55 per month is what I am paying for BALPA, it is not an inconsiderable sum. In fact it is more than my loss of licence ins.Which is more likely to be used judging by the health issues some of our collegues have suffered.
I say again stop slagging off non members it will reduce the chances of them joining, not what I think you want.Please come up with coherent reasons for them to do so a carrot rather than the stick!
