Clear right,
You fail to comprehend what I'm saying. All your arguments are valid for a functioning union with collective bargaining powers and a membership based on solidarity.
Regrettably, this association of ours is broken with cracks so deep it wouldn't hold together in a breeze never mind a full blown storm. . That is not the fault of our hard working and ever hopeful presidents and comittee members who despite the constant tirade of deception and taunts by managements still try to play "the long game" as you say. Once again our good faith has been taken advantage of by cold managers laughing at our sheer level of naivity and misguided trust.
There is a difference between someone quitting the AOA and discontinuing the organisation alltogether. We've been down this chest thumping path before and it has never ended well.
So unless you're willing to stand up and rattle the troops like a regular braveheart I suggest we try the one thing that might actually force the companys hand.
