Don't know !!!!
T Ali, you don't know !!!!.
It is not all about the money. The subs are actually fairly low.
It is about the complete stupidity of the AOA under Nigel and his friends. The membership was steered into a stupid go-slow which lost some good blokes their jobs and the AOA a lot of its membership.
Some of the dumb arse ideas of the past:
'Join the AOA to show the company we are strong' - wrong. It just shows the company that most are easily lead.
'Vote for industrial action to show the company we mean it, trust the AOA leadership to tell us what to do when the time is right' - wrong. Vote for industrial action when you know what it is to be AND when you are prepared to actually FOLLOW THROUGH with it. Too many voted for 'industrial action', but when it was revealed to be a go slow, too many did not follow it. Within a couple of days the company knew the real level of support the AOA had.
Guys left the AOA or did not join for VALID reasons. We need to address those reasons and get guys back in. We will never be completely united in what we want, but we need to be united in saying no to more pineapples.
So Ali, it is not about the money.
