So there should should be the first vote then.A union is simply 'the act of uniting'. I believe 'BFU' is an interim name which could be adopted or replaced.
Whether or not it would wish to be a become a trade union is a matter for discussion but I would imagine it being unlikely.
Every group has to start somewhere. It is foolish to compare a fledgling association with those that have been established for decades.
I think its ability to achieve is only limited by the imagination and will of its members. Using online meetings/ debates and social media, many member's could combine to lobby very effectively. Likewise it would be easy to arrange a strike/ boycott if it is the will of members.
I don't see a need for an office, but I can see situations where there would be support for crowd funding a barrister.
It's so easy, it should have already happened
