Which all comes down to the union representing the members opinion.
Now what if the members opinion has been dictated by the union? I can't remember a single unite/bassa message that was 100% truthful. Then what? The union have purposefully mislead the membership. Think NUM 1982.
Based on what? How do you or I for that matter know what is truthful or what is not?
We can only make judgements based on information we are given from various quarters.
As for being mislead...... see....... Tony Balir, Margret Thatcher, George Bush.....need I go on?
As I have already stated. Things are going in a different direction. You can't change the past. But you have to hope the future is better. Hoping otherwise is wishing for failure.
