Do you honestly think that we would have all this bitterness if ATCOs, ATSAs and ATEs were all in the same union?? We certainly wouldn't have had the "divide and conquer" routine that even now is causing feelings to run high. Nor, if it ever came to it, would we have the problem of staff from one union crossing the picket line of staff from the other union.
Instead of putting all this exasperation into a war of words between ATCOs ATSAs and ATEs, why not put it into considering how ALL relevant staff might end up in just one union?
I suspect that that would be a prospect (no pun intended) to make our management go a little pale.
