next time i get a clause 11 i will ask the union to get me a QC. if the same thing happens to a QCCA union member i want him to get a fresh lawyer out of school as they would be a lot cheaper. what a stupid argument to have 2 sets of union fees. As has been said it is tax deductable so around 325.- is too much? thats less then 1% of your income? thats a glass of wine in the local pub per week. get real,get a life or leave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
