For god's sake, join a union whether it's AIPA, AFAP or whoever, if only for the protection afforded if you are involved in an incident. Because sure as 5hit the company will hang you out to dry.
I am getting tired off hearing these union scare tactics all the time.
I am happy to admit that I was involved in an incident and I WAS NOT left to hang out to dry by the company at all.
I have heard directly from management themselves, that if you make a mistake (
up) and admit that you made a mistake ( "
ed up"), you will not be in trouble.
The company was really good to me. I was stood down and lost some overtime but they actually made it up to me down the track.
