It will be a sorry day when we have to rely on a federation to represent us. Whether that day has arrived I am not sure, but what concerns me is that any sort of organisation that 'represents us' may simply be used by those with an interest to distract from the real source of our gripes.
Who is responsible for the fire brigades' debacle? We may think it's the Gov't, but many (judging by this Forum) blame the FBU (or at least their former leader). Just a thought.
How soon would problems in the military be attributed (at least in part) to the 'Federation'?
