Dougie, I know you speak up and have been at the top table for many years trying to move it forward with modern times but 'the nodding dog'expression is pointed at the ones that don't try and take it forward.An example of this was how the SHU treated me at my appeal recently.It was disgraceful, actually unlawful and as a union ( supposedly for the membership ) it lost all credibility to myself and others who were aware of the case. The President and one of the delegates actually were verbally unbiased in comments they made . You know I have supported the SHU more than most all my life but unfortunately the SHU has lost a real follower in myself, as , once again, it has failed in its duties to support its membership imo.
