This is where you are wrong, I work with the union number 1 and I know that we are still allowed to belong to the union here in our country. We still get the support from a different angle. A union must comply with the 2 sides of views and work for their members, whether it be member v member or member v employer.
Having said that you have missed the point.
You seem so involved in tangling yourself in others lives, should'nt it be your employer that you are angry at. Good luck to you personally Frankg as I am wondering if this is giving you as much sleepless nights as it was giving us. Feel free to talk to someone who can calm you down and maybe you should send your cv off to some other airline that you would enjoy working for. As without CRM you will be the one who will lose out in the end. Don't give up on your issue to the company as it is a valid one. We give you our full support, union members stick together, you should be targeting your employer not us.
