Why are so many of you upset about another Union, its a personal choise and if someone wants to be a member of the TWU, CFMEU or what ever, whats the big deal? Everyone is starting to get personal here, its quite fanatical. Its as if someone does not agree with another's views, they are wrong and to be chastised.
Does anyone get hasseled because they shop at Shell instead of BP for their petrol.
Its about free choise, and competition creates value, and at the moment some of these Unions are backwards in their theory/action yet have a good framework.
Its a shame that some of these Airlines are not Unions. If we could put that much energy into fighting another Union's registration, imagine what that Union could do to really start to represent it's members and put the gloves on from time to time and take the opportunity to really listen to it's members. If they did, would there be another Union trying to register itself. The road to recovery is firstly admitting you have a problem.
