I just had a look at the VIPA LOL advertised on this very web site. No mention of a portion of the fee not going into LOL. People pay union fees to support their chosen union. If I pay for LOL I expect my money to pay for LOL and nothing else. The LOL could have been either a lot cheaper or have provided and increase in cover if the full amount was used for LOL. I look forward to the full transcript being posted here for all to read.
Did not read on any post that "money was pocketed as has been frivolously claimed". What was suggested was that money was used for a purpose that was not disclosed to members at the time they signed up. If this is not true then you guys have nothing to worry about as the transcripts will reveal all.
