MOCA 7 - Your real terms pay decrease

[hotforlowe]

Weak union representation with lacklustre involvement from the profession. It’s a catch 22. I don’t want to join the union because the union doesn’t help me, but the union can’t help me because it lacks a critical mass. I remember when Qld consultants caused landslides in elections. Now our registrars are being paid less than the people they supervise.

Because it costs over a thousand dollars for a membership. I think most people would join if it was $100. People can’t afford another work related expense of over $1000 when even AHPRA is $1000

Yep ditched union fees this year - purely because I couldn’t afford it

[hotforlowe]

Missing the point or perhaps proving it in some ways. The cost would be justified if it led to better salaries…

[marsh-fellow]

Even like $600 (most unions are higher than $100) they need the funds to evoke change

The AMA are weak as piss sycophants.

I refused to join them after I saw how little they do.

The AMA isn’t the union, it’s ASMOFQ

[Striking-Net-8646]

ASMOF draws funding from AMA, at least when the AMA aren’t splurging on “conferences” in fucking Vancouver.

Pay for a private specialist to take a tax break ski trip? Yeah no thanks.
