I personally feel that Prospect's treatment of the sector has been poor over the past few years, but this isn't to do with individuals - its more to do with the dynamics I spoke about in the previous post. Its time to change that. As the financial restrictions across the industry become more apparent and should they appear to be in place for the long haul as everyone seems to expect, the greater the demands on the union. If they are non-responsive they will lose members and quite possibly entire branches where they exist. I have heard the suggestion that there is an economic necessity for unions to fully and adequately represent members - members mean income and collectivised power and that is all important at present, not just within industries but across populations.
Go on then.......
