You are trying to get a union on board to improve T&C. That will never happen with any of the Gulf carriers, so the T&C are only going to go one way. It is not so much how bad it is now, it is the trend and the fact the "management" can do what they want, when they want. There is no consultation and no negotiation.
Emirates is unrecognisable now in terms and conditions to what it was 5 years ago- or even 2 year ago.
