Are you absolutely sure?

One of our internet colleagues has sent us a private message,

"That they are politically unbiased, trust worthiness in handling funds of the membership, cleanliness of their characters with good track records and ability to lead an intellectual dialog"................are you absolutely sure?

The opinion we are holding is slightly different. Following constant and long term observation on the GMOA on its activities what we have understood is that the GMOA is on transformation.
For the benefit of the young crowd who are just joining this union let me tell you that there had been an era where the GMOA was acting as a leisure club, where doctors got together and shared urban folks while sipping a beer. While apologizing for making this comment from the ones who ran the GMOA at that era, we believe that this was the time when other health care categories climbed the ladder of salary scales and even by passing us.
Then there came an era where GMOA started talking about principles instead of people. But the TU officials had a very coarse regime, believe me that there was a notice on the meeting room door saying” No unauthorized admission”. The members were allowed only to meet the clerical staff unless there was a very valid reason to meet the trade union officials.
Then comes the present era…..
There may be dips and rises in this story of evolution, but definitely it is transforming from a rigid trade union to a better structure.


Then we will come back to the question “……….are you absolutely sure?”
All what we said has got no absolute value, but that of a comparative value in relation to their counterparts.

To elaborate a little bit on this, the objectives of our post were,
1.To highlight the good trade union qualities one who is wishing to lead the union should cultivate.
2.To show that the present Ex Co is there due to the lack of a reliable opposition, which we believe as a mandatory requirement in a democratic process.
3.To give a small credit to the few good qualities (RELATIVE) they (present ex co) posses.


THE PROFESSION NEEDS PEOPLE WITH TRADE UNION BLOOD TO LEAD THE GMOA.
