     1.Many years ago I was an isolated union member (ie had to put in for 
     my own pay rises when they were agreed for the national scale to which 
     I was appointed).When I needed the information to obtain the rise the 
     particular union was very slow. In the end I obtained the information 
     very promptly from the LA and, as a result, the rise.
     
     2.I believe that it is the membership - all of us individually - who 
     will "make the charter respected" or not - by how professionally we 
     work. I would certainly like to see work being done to raise the 
     overall salary levels in line objectively with equivalent levels of 
     stress, responsibility and education/training in other occupations. 
     Once we have a ladder linking NVQs and ALAs it may be easier to map 
     across to other, say, level 4 NVQ occupations.
     
     3.I have always found LA membership invaluable from the point of view 
     of networking and obtaining information. I believe these have added 
     value to my work.In these respects non members simply don't know what 
     they are missing!  However, as with membership of anything else, what 
     you put in (investment of time as well as money) tends to be reflected 
     in what you get out (usefulness). About three years ago I thought it 
     worthwhile after a long membership as an ALA to put a portfolio 
     together and be assessed to become an FLA.
     
     Note: these are my personal views and not necessarily those of the 
     institution for which I currently work.

There is a big debate going on in lis-la-charter (a discussion list for 
chartership candidates) at the moment about whether it is worth chartering 
or even belonging to the LA at all- it seems to several participants that 
the LA does not do enough to justify the fee. In particular, it is felt that 
it does not do enough to ensure that salaries are at professional levels or 
that chartership is respected. Do any ALAs/FLAs or those who have chosen not 
to charter have any views they wold like to share here or on lis-la-charter?
