6ft.....this is the problem....they ARE breaking the union.
This inneffectual situation is just bypassing the HKAOA altogether.
Every day people resign from the union and potential new-joiners are victimised.
The 49'ers are never going to get their jobs back, that much should be evident by now. You need to sit down and reassess the make-up of the Committee and regain some credibility and relevance.
There is still a small window of opportunity available whilst you have unity but the window and the unity are diminishing daily.
