AA to strike........

So as an AA member if I break down I'll have to deal with it myself, fair enough. Would I be within my rights to bill the AA and subsequently pursue payment?

Their first strike in 105 years, how the motor car has changed in that time.
Just for interest a little information regarding the famous AA salute, courtesy of the Daily Mail.
/// The famous salute harks back to the pioneering days of early motoring when speed limits were less than ten miles an hour. AA officers on bicycles would point out hidden police speed traps to motorists.///
/// This led to prosecutions for obstructing the police, so the AA salute was developed. If an officer did not salute a member it was a signal that a trap was nearby. Police were scarcely able to prosecute AA men for not saluting. The AA discontinued the salute in the 1960s.///

TTG, for what it's worth, I was annoyed that the AA sub went up so much last year that I phoned them up and said I was contemplating switching to the RAC, who were about £50 less. They immediately offered to match the RAC rate.
Geezer, I think you'll have to wait until you break down and see what happens. I don't know how long you'd normally expect to wait, but if it's a significant amount of time, yes, why not send them the bill.

Hello, I work at the AA, and am responding to your comments about the planned AA strike. Firstly, we are still working hard to avert the strike but, if it does go ahead, we are happy to reassure you that we will not leave members stranded at the roadside. We have robust contingency plans in place to deal with the situation and it’s also worth noting that the majority of our patrols didn’t vote for strike action, so we expect a good number would work as normal on strike days. If the union does proceed with the strike and you need to call us out for service, please call us as normal: 0800 88 77 66 or 0121 275 3746.
