May I ask what you base this on?  Have you ever studied at Uni?  Something 
about the way you keep saying 'real world' makes me think not, but i could 
be wrong.

You're right of course.  Unfortunately it all takes time.  The affects of 
lack of Union membership are felt in the following years, and this delay 
makes it hard to convince people to sign up.  Why pay money that will only 
start to benefit people after you have left?

I'm not talking about minority interests.  My uni has lost a range of 
_services_ such as subsadised books for students, printing facilities and 
the book store itself.  I dont actually care about the Union, just the 
facilities it provides.  Would be perfectly happy with a facilities fee or 
something like that.  Unfortunately, when it comes to the allocation of 
money, politics is always involved.
