Surely, if you're not happy with the direction the union is taking, you stand more chance of moderating future action by staying as members and making your voices heard
In my case there's two reason for leaving the Union: clearly they have not been really bothered about what is right for CC, the spin they put on things is just unacceptable and shows a lack of interest for their members, it does look like it is about power and frankly I cannot pay fees that go towards an oversize ego. Second they do not appear to be too bothered about their other members, so what's the point? my Unite reps are being very quiet about all of this, showing no interest in trying to get support from the other members.
