Can we not organise representatives from the two serious players, BALPA and T&G to make a presentation to us with regard to what they can offer. Then we could discuss the benefits, make an informed decision between ourselves then ALL join just one union based on a majority vote.
Surely it is wasted effort for some to join T&G, some to join BALPA, some with IPA and some doing absolutely nothing. Pulling in a number of directions we simply won't get anywhere! Management will kill themselves with laughter at this rate!
Personally from what I have read/heard about BALPA makes most sense - recent track record with EZ says a lot to me. However, we all need to be able to make an informed decision based on fact not hearsay. It's time to stand up and be counted......else we risk spending the rest of our lives just bitching on prune!
