elektra,
I meant, I would be willing to play a significant part in setting up a new union, if the desire was there amongst colleagues. I'm guessing that it isn't. More apathy, I'm afraid.
I threw money down the BALPA drain for long enough before I learnt my lesson and pulled out. They did nothing for me or my colleagues then, and I haven't been impressed with what I've seen from the outside looking in since.
My qualifications in English are such that I don't need reminding of dictionary definitions or etymology, thank you.
I have taken the difficult decision to speak up here in the hope that some like-minded professional colleagues might share some of my concerns and aspirations.
Rather, I feel I'm surrounded by those who see things getting worse and have simply lost touch with the notion that they might ever get better again, or that it might be good for anyone if they did...
