I'm not advocating we dump ALPA!
What I am advocating is we get our current leaders to step up to the plate. Time and time again we've given direction and they have failed to act. If it's time to go to jail, let one of them go jail - we'll get him out and press back harder. If a head gets cracked, we'll get it fixed and send back two guys and press back harder. We have to be willing to fight. I'm tired of running away and tired of losing.
We lost the advantage to current management by failing to fight back. Write your LEC reps and your MEC chairs and let them know they have had direction for some time and It's time to act.
