Of course I believe in Santa. It's me every year. Maat how do you think the presents get here?
Take it from me, stay with your rep body...BALPA...is that right? Starting up a union is fraught with disaster...mainly that it has to be recognised by the TUC...the other problem being they [the employers] can pick and chose whether to recognise it or not...only when it suits!! Any other union won't understand the intricacies of your profession.
If BALPA isn't representing you properly...take it over...using the ballot box...simple but true!!
Why are you paying into something with no negotiating powers?
Stick together like glue...unity is power...old maxims but very true!!
