One hallmark of a genuinely independent and impartial organisation is that it is often disliked by several different parties, specifically because it is not biased in their favour.
Now, I see lots of complaints about the IFA on BAJR, which is essentially a grass-roots forum. You don't see many posts that appear to come from unit management on BAJR, so it doesn't reflect their views.
However, as a consultant, I also deal with the management of units throughout the country, both RAOs and others, and I hear many complaints about the IFA from them - some units are not RAOs specifically because their managers don't like the IFA.
So, the organisation is unpopular with parts of the worker side ... but also unpopular with parts of the employer side. At the same time, some members of both sides are enthusiastic supporters.
Sounds to me like an organisation that is acting in an impartial, independent way, and therefore sometimes p***ing off one side, and sometimes the other side.
