I am not trying to convince you to join, I am telling you that imo anyone that rejoins is a self serv... you get it.
I agree, there are too many factions, A/B/C scale, based, non based, LEP etc etc. Add to the list the new DEFO scale soon I suppose, (they only waited 13 years to try it on again), but all of that is another post in itself.
The basis of my post is that I am dissappointed at the recent EGM since I imagine it will allow ssp's to rejoin, and their only reason for rejoining is in an effort to get age 60 or similar. There are no improvements in conditions that I have seen in any of the proposals.
The union is more divided now that it has ever been, so they (retreads) can hardly say that we now have direction. So why would they bother joining.
Plese don't take any of it personally. We are all entitled to our opinions, different as they may be. If I step on toes expressing mine, then I apologise, but we are all big boys and girls aren't we?
