slapfaan,
Firstly, your assumptions concerning the demographics of the AOA are wrong.
Apparently you have no idea what the AOA is! It's an association and not a union although often it is incorrectly referred to as one. It is a voice and not a real force to be dealt with. It's all we have and it's limited strength or weakness is indicative of it's members unity. IE. it has no strength thanks to people like you! So, you're either part of the solution or just part of the problem!
My take is if you are NOT in the AOA then you are hypocritical if you complain about conditions.
