Most of the work they do they do without any compensation.
Let's try not to keep taking our eyes off the ball here guys. The unelected MEC bureaucrats like Reroute, slowplay and alfaromeo keep changing the subject to the LEC reps. This is NOT about the LEC reps. LEC reps are underpaid and overworked in my opinion. Worse, is that their status at this top-down union is utterly meaningless. The real power is in the committee structure of which Reroute, slowplay and alfaromeo are part and parcel. They're the ones that are ridiculously overpaid (by Delta management) and need to go back to the line ASAP and "thanked" for their "service". MAYBE if that happened, we might morph into a bottom-up union where LEC reps actually mattered.
