Union- to protect and further the interests of IT'S members. Not possible future members. The HKAOA has done everything in it's power to protect those that were undeniably terminated as an industrial tool almost 1 year ago (july 09, 2001). The people that are going on and on about this ban are doing so because somehow it's in their best interest to have it removed. Applicant, Management, whoever. When it's in my 49 colleagues best interests to have it removed, it will be removed, until then it's realy quite simple. JOIN or DON'T.
