THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEGGING AND TRADE UNIONISM

At present GMOA is having almost 100 branch Unions Island wide.
"Thanks" to the current EX CO, many are inactive at the moment.

Many are not having branch presidents, or branch secretary has gone on transfer orders.
Many branches have been “expired” (Office bearers are more than 1 year old).
In some no regular branch union meetings are held.
In some the branch officials are very unpopular so as the current ex co and members, due to their personal agendas and members are not participating for their activities.
Some branches have been infested with “ACGMOA” and “AMS”.

The current ex co facilitates this situation by various means ,in a few branches the branch Secretaries act as spies to report the “Anti ex co” movements of the members to the ex co.

Due to this weakening process, some members seem not to know the difference between a beggar and a trade union leader because both parties do the same. That is “asking for more”
A beggar will beg, (ask for more) and get” something” for himself.
A trade union leader will demand (ask for more) and get what is due for the profession.
