empire4, I have read some of your posts and I agree with a lot (certainly not ALL) of what you say. In fact I am quite surprised in your opinion of the ALAEA. (your opinion of other unions I couldn't give a sh1t about)
Let me assure you I have absolute faith in those that run the ALAEA, as do all members I know. There are plenty of reasons we have the coverage we do across our profession Australia wide.
You are intitled to your opinion but I think it is you that is "misguided" mate.
