The Tories have begun turning the screw.

If you think about it though, it is more fair. I kinda forces folks to stand up for something if they believe in it and it keep a few power hungry union members from forcing decisions on others that may not agree with them. It appears that being a 'no show' equals a NO vote.
I expressly forbid the use of any of my posts anywhere outside of FG (with the exception of the incredibly witty 'get a room already' )posted recently.
