You can't have it both ways mate, the GC are voted in by us, from members who decide to volunteer their time and efforts. I think they should be commended as a whole. I do believe a professional negotiator, who's salary and livehood are not affected by company actions and pressure, should be added to our negotiation team. I think you need to cut the people who give FREELY of their time on our behalf a bit of slack. I have not been a GC member, but a long time AOA member, and it seems we constantly blame the AOA not realising the AOA is ALL OF US.
