Bizarrely, you quote virtually word for word the things that the PCCC have been saying all along, yet you state:
I share your concerns regarding the PCCC,
If you support our views, and what we are trying to achieve, why do you have concerns? Is our way not better than the BASSA way? What other options are open to us?
The PCCC fully agree with what you have said about Amicus.
If Amicus still existed at the moment, then they would have been perfectly placed right now to sweep the floor. They are not. They have been completely caught up in the mire and I would hazard a guess that Amicus has infact probably lost more members than BASSA.
Amicus are gone. That's precisely why the PCCC has been set up. It's no use yearning for what might have been. We are running out of time and that's why doing nothing is not an option. Anyone who does not support Unite (be it BASSA or Amicus) needs to join the PCCC. It's our only hope of having a voice to ask for what crew are crying out for: an offer, without crew back on in order to guarantee our livelihoods for the next few years.
If you have concerns about something we are doing then join us and speak up. We are a council. We listen and respond to the views of the people - our forum is already testament to that.
We can all sit and whinge on a forum but it ain't gonna change much. Isn't it time we all took responsibility for our own futures and started to do something constructive about it?
