Resignations from the AOA

[Albatross]

Can anyone please tell me how many have resigned from the AOA over the past 12 months. I have heard around 250 so far and about 30 a month presently.

Why would you want to know this?

If you were in the AOA you would know.

[41IA]

I smell a journo. That you, Miss Button?

[Alpha Leader]

And why should this information be classified?

The AOA has not shunned publicity lately, has it?

[Albatross]

Have you tried to get a sensible answer out of the AOA lately? Sorry I asked.

[B787]

Those of you who had attended the AOA EGM or watched the VCD of the EGM would know exactly the answer to the question.

[Albatross]

I didn't do either last time round so please tell me. I am probably the only one who wants to know and I don't think it is classified information.

[backspace]

No albatross, I would like to know also. It would be a good indication of how much support the AOA has from within.

Maybe thats why no one will tell us the answer.

[Albatross]

Backspace, I will try to track down a VCD and get the numbers. From (shaded) memory they have thrown out 14 and 380 are refusing to pay the subs so membership could be halved by Christmas if this is a developing trend of discontent. Very sad times.

Friend of mine @ Cathay said the union is approx. +/- 50 or so members stronger compared to same time last year. Can not remember exact figure.

[backspace]

Thanks albatross. At least someone is listening.

The total membership is UP roughly 135 members compared to this date a year ago.

[Albatross]

Up by 135? That I find a little hard to believe but it is a rumours forum so anything goes. It has definately fallen in numbers which isn't good and the EGM will hopefully reveal by how much.

[The Big O]

the only problem is that there are members who can afford to buy house's in hong kong and other parts of the world and also go out and buy brand new bmw's
but are to much of tight arse's to pay the 5% ,
