Exactly what is it about an educated constituency that you are afraid of? -THAT is the ALPA standard on ethics. Members are just useful idiots - pawns in their game of featherbedding.
Thanks Ram
Ironically, I always thought that ALPA "leaders" wanted an informed and active membership. I guess that an educated constituency wasn't in the plan. Even more ironically, the info I pass along regarding effective participation in ones union is just as effective in support of the current reps as it is against them.
