Quickest way to career suicide if you ask me. Either that, or it will go the way of every other Union / Federation before it - ie it will end up representing it's OWN interests, and those of it's major players. Either way the organization will have no teeth of any consequence for the man on the 'shop floor'.
Unfortunately we are not here
to represent, foster and promote the professional, welfare, and other legitimate interests of all members of the federation
- we are here to do the job, and that job has always been to be used as a political tool at the disposal of the incumbent administration.
