hawk eye Mate I think you misunderstood me.
I believe that if the 2 unions were to join then there would have to be one leadership team and not the 2 combined.
I also reckon there is to much history and ego problems for the 2 current unions leadership to be able to work together.
If this is to work we could disolve both leadership teams and have a fresh election for one team to represent all parties.That means L/H,S/H,MAM etc...with reps from each area.
i reckon it would not work if you asked the current elcted officials of both sides to work together.There is simply to much history,memory,ego,power etc...to be working with.
There would be a lot of things to work out and it is a big call but it is possible
