I would suggest that a number of PFAA (the exNWA in house FA union) types probably voted no to stick it up AFA's arse.
Soooooooooooo, sometime a year after all this plays out there will be another card drive for an in house union. Not arguing it one way or the other, just someone who likes to watch elections and tries to read tea leaves on why.
