Currently, the BEC is doing what it has done so well in the past, left the members uninformed, and presents them with a fate acompli (sp)
Nothing is a fait accompli. If you're not happy with what has happened in the recent past don't blame the BEC, blame the union members. Irrespective of any recommendation from the negotiators it is the union members who ultimately say yes or no and the members who then haven't had the bottle to put up any fight in the past.
So as and when current negotiations end and something is put to the members to vote on... be it to accept or decline a deal or accept or decline a start to some form of industrial action, then if the former do as you see fit. If the latter it'll be time to see if we really are ready to stand up and be counted.
