}I'm just concerned that we'll get the usual 'I joined and they never did nothing for me guv' stuff. And I also think that the union(s) should be being more upfront and pro-active about what they offer. They're not exactly jumping up and down and shouting, are they.
I agree on the 'take the body of choice' bit, which is why I got involved (and still am involved) in IfA. I also agree that it needs people to get behind something to get it moving in order to make any organisation (Union, professional body, government, employers) listen to what you have to say. Good luck! It takes a lot of effort to get things set up, it also takes a lot to keep things moving. I hope that the support and the momentum is there and stays.
