It's not a case of not trusting my representatives. My Unit reps (who I do trust and did elect) did not know what the negotiating team were proposing until we ALL found out!
I am not so foolish to believe that the world is a place of fairy tales but I do expect the Union to come to us as a stand alone entity and not do a joint presentation with company reps and then do a separate briefing to the Union members.
The company should be left to carry out it's own half ar
ed brief, show their own ignorance, and not let the Union team bail them out. Let the staff see how much they think of us.
Then the Union can try to sell it to the members. Or was it the case that they knew what reaction this would bring?
