I am not sure I agree about an announcement on the PCCC executive. If I went into my workplace and asked a union member who his officer was, I am confident there would be a don't know response. I would also be surprised if more than a handful knew the name of the General Secretary either.
It would be enough for me just to see the effort that a group of workers have put into setting this listed union up.
Would I leave Unite to join an association like the PCCC? Not a chance. The funding and support that Unite offer me and the people I work with, will not be matched by a free association. However, if I had left Bassa because of the direction it had taken, then what would I have to loose by joining the PCCC? A potential voice is better than none. However, I would look at what the JGS's secured as an offer and if I felt that it was acceptable to me, I would rejoin Unite for the member benefits.
The website looks slick and the words it contains sound reasoned and balanced.
I know this post is a bit disjointed and it is my 3rd attempt too!
