An issue of privacy and trust AFTER READING the article

in CM 5 August, I find the comments made by Pat Nicholson (pictured, right), in defence of her actions to be misleading.
There has never been an issue concerning the direction the PDA is taking and no member has asked for the PDA to represent them in talks for higher pay or better working conditions.
The whole issue was and is about privacy. I was dismayed that my e-mail was intercepted and felt that it was an invasion of my privacy and a betrayal of trust.
The fact that Pat Nicholson refused to apologise and refused to recognise that she along with others had breached the trust of the entire membership was of great concern to every member on the forums that weekend.
I have been a member of the PDA for two years and had hoped that the PDA would form links with other groups that are championing for truck drivers, other campaigning bodies and other transport related associations but who would trust a postman that opens your mail?
I will not be renewing my now expired PDA membership.
