What part about selfish self interest don't you understand.
These people ( almost all of them ) deserted the AOA rather than pay any money for democratically voted on matters. They didn't stick together at all, as people in a Union should do.
They are only rejoining now to vote yes to the pay package, again out of selfish self serving interests.
Don't be so naive as to think otherwise.
Why do you think they chose now to re-join?
