CILIP and the Big Society!

For the last few months i have been reading with increasing anger and amazement both the 'Public Library Journal' and the 'Library + Information Gazette'.
Article after article has been published on how to manage volunteers and how to 'do more with less'.
Library staff are fighting for their jobs and trying to keep libraries open and our main professional body, CILIP, is telling us how to manage volunteers!!!
There seems to be a cowardly acceptance of the staus quo, it's pathetic!
Would the BMA, RCN or the NUT undermine their professions in such a manner?
