Why not tell us the details?
It's hard to imagine what sort of justification they can offer for this act of blatantly not looking after their members' interests...
Agreed, I'd like to see what the MSCC's stance is on this policy of only one approved Co
I was told by an official that it is a three year contract and it is standard commercial practice with such a partnership, to exclude other providers for exclusivity.
Other companies are welcome to bid for the contract in 3 years time.
BUT, the bit that got to me was “the funding that this company have guaranteed to MSCC made it a no-brainer.”
So the obvious question is: Where is that generous funding going to come from? (answers on the back of a postage stamp please!)
My conclusion is that MSCC have lost their way on this and aren't really representing members’ interests as a whole. I fear that it will only encourage the other companies to raise their rates towards the “approved” companies rates and the whole Morgan community could end up paying more in years to come.
For this reason, despite being very active in my local centre both on committee and attending events over the past 13 years, I have not renewed my membership with MSCC.
