I am told that the ANF has advised South Australian newsagents that the meeting planned for June 11 to discuss moves by the Adelaide Advertiser to take control over home delivery payments will be for ANF members only. I’d encourage the ANF to invite all newsagents to the meeting. The more attending the better.
The ANF cannot claim to represent all newsagents if it is selective as it appears to be.
The alternative is that newsagents organise their own meeting. We did this in Victoria last year on Bill Express and showed VANA and the ANF how dissatisfied newsagents were with their lack of leadership on that issue.
Wow. The ANF can’t be too fussed about getting new membership on board.
Not too fussed about anything, really, if what’s posted on this blog is anything to go by..
Opportunities galore here for some damage control, good hard work, and attracting new members.
I’d be excited. But I’m not.
ANF are no longer relavent to the industry, I for one am not a member and dont want them doing any negotiations with anybody on my behalf. QNF have been far more proactive and always provide good communication back to the members on a regular basis, and have actually achieved benefits for the members. I am a little suprised that the ANF is still around, I expected them to fold not long after the Bill Express fiasco, but am less suprised that they appear to have learned nothing from how they where involved with that issue, and still appear to be more concerned about the well being of the ANF than they are with member/industry issues.
I am not welcome at the anf meeting on 11 June because I am not paying the anf to be a member. However they say to the Advertiser that they represent all of us newsagents. They do not represent me and they do not want to represent me. Mark what can you do about this?
AnonSA you could call your own meeting to discuss the issue and for a committee to work on this. Get enough and the publisher will need to take notice of your views. With the ANF ignoring you, you have no choice but to act.
