I'm aware that ASLEF seems to be able to brass neck it and get whatever they want at some TOCs, yet at others it seems that they can't achieve anything at all. Unfortunately, at my place in the south east, it would fall into the latter category and I'm looking to leave partially as a result of this.
Are you happy with the results your DCC has achieved in recent years? I'm not expecting people to name employers but it would be nice to build a picture of whether the imbalance between various DCCs is quite as big as it would appear.
Another thing that has come to mind is the unions trying to encourage "proactive recruitment of under-represented groups". I get the impression that it involves pressuring TOCs to recruit on demographics above ability and I'm concerned that it might disadvantage me as a candidate, are my concerns realistic?
Lastly, please don't name any individual DCC members, it'd most likely break forum rules.
