Maybe you should stand after implying that the current reps are no good. You cannot choose your Unite full time reps (i.e. employed by Unite, not VS), but the staff reps give up their own time to fight for cabin crew.

I would look at he 2000 cabin crew members who will benefit from this agreement, who pay **** all towards collective bargaining. They are £110 a month better off than the Unite members, who through their membership, allowed negotiation and a better deal than the non recognised departments.
