Haven’t we tried an independent union before? How did that work out?
Uh no - they all are - we have no choice in the amount of dues we give or how those dues are spent - as a result very little comes back to us - a bit more than 50% total. We have very little choice (6000 votes out of the total - one vote here is the same as one vote at a Canadian regional) in how national policies and objectives are created. Those are two that just pop to mind.
