ALPA's problem created by teaming up with management is that they get a lot of information that can not be disclosed to the general membership. In fact, the Reps are not told until they "need to know." Information is power and the Admin has the power (and often the duty) to with hold information.
Since scope sales and RFP's do have material effects on share prices, as well as employment, there is plenty of justification to keep these things under wraps until the deal is substantially done.
