Union backing for optometrists

The letter published (19.12.14) from Rob Scott was both rude and bitter. The AOP is without question trying to defend both the poacher and the game keeper. It can’t do both.

Employed optometrists have no one fighting their economic corner. They need representation and have every right to negotiate a better and secure future.

I own an independent practice but I would wholeheartedly back a union-type organisation for all employed optical staff.

Just what exactly are you afraid of Mr Scott?
