- gaius 11y agoA guild.
- looptwasafail 11y agoDon't call it that. The idea is to avoid words like "union" or "guild" that arouse suspicion. Professional associations like the AMA and ADA fly under the anti-union radar.
- gaius 11y agoWhatever we call it, it will have to be a new thing. What exists right now in the UK is the BCS who are a laughing stock among any practitioner. Even the respected professional associations such as the IMechE barely look out for the interests of their members, not compared to the BMA at any rate.
