I'm not sure the IFA are the right people to do it anyway. Trouble is for better or worse it doesn't matter what the IFA do, they will always be seen as a union controlled by the managers of the very companies that are causing the issues. Unless it does something fairly drastic the general fieldstaff will always pick it apart. Don't get me wrong, I think the IFA is trying to do some good (Even if they do seem to take forever getting there) and you have to remember that even the managers of these big companies are on sh*t wages for the job they do.
What I'm getting at is this, even if they had the power to punish with teeth (as it were), and they did it in an honest and fair fashion. They would still be ridiculed and accused of being biased towards the company called into question due to having a senior manager on the review board! This is what I was trying to get at earlier with a governing body being at a higher level. Something beyond county mountie but national, as there is no equivalant at present the only existing body I can see that currently exists is EH. Not that I'm saying they are the answer, more that is the type of governing body needed. Something that can question the validity of not just the companies but the county mounties themselves if need arises.
