Yes indeed let the games begin. I sense a watered down campaign as Nigel knows that most of the membership doesn't have the heart for even what was attempted last year. Of those that do have heart only a handful have any power.
As a result the required pressure will not and can not be applied to management. (see previous post re numbers of potential players). In the end the AOA will be completely defeated but claim victory. The 49 ers will not have a job with CX ; maybe another contract will be signed but most of the holy grails will be abandoned.
The opportunity for the AOA to effect conditions for it's members has long past. If Nigel REALLY cared for the members; the clever thing to do would be not to run in the first place. Together with a different President, the termination of Mr Scargill and the removal of the War(ham) monger a dialouge may have been possible.
