Common Contract?

That video is just plain offensive to those that do not receive housing allowance either by choice or by contract.

And now it seems the president wants to pressure those who already don't receive housing allowance to cough up money or else they're hurting those who do receive housing allowances' contract?

At least make an effort to recognize the GROSS difference in contracts and charge membership dues accordingly and avoid further alienation of potential membership by rubbing salt in the wounds of those who must suffer a severe reduction in disposable income or a severe reduction in quality and size of domicile due to an inflated housing price environment.

In fact it could be argued that those that do not receive housing allowance and join the aoa would be paying to degrade their own contracts. For example since some of the effort of the AOA obviously goes to securing other goals than pay rise such as the INDEXED housing allowance policy, then not 100% of the dues of those that do not receive housing will be used to fight for a pay rise. Therefore those that do not receive housing are getting back less than they put in.

Bullying and pressure tactics are not ways to increase membership. Unless you're the communist party.
