Rather than the same old uninformed shite about it being 'too much money, whinge, whinge, whinge, I joined the union and didn't get an instant 200% pay rise, what a bunch of charlatans....'
I wrote a fairly long post about the union, what it can and can't do, and our role in it just before xmas, I haven't time to search it out and repost it as I'm off out, but yes they were there when I needed them.
I read your post Chiz. It was right on the nail, and full of good sense, as usual. I have found Prospect to be most helpful in resolving workplace issues (though sad to say I am now an ex arch - my choice). So - thanks to those reps at PCA who have done a great job over the years - I don't know how you keep going! Wishing you all a happy New Year, and hoping you will carry on in your efforts to stamp out bad practice, raise standards, and generally motivate change for the better.
