Wow! Talk about assumptions! I didn't ridicule you for any of those reasons. I ridiculed you because you constantly thump your chest and threaten ALPA with being voted out if they don't deliver to your standards. It's always "if ALPA doesn't come through with XXXX they can say bye-bye to their gravy train".....it's to the point where you're being tuned out by many. It's an ineffective way of communicating. Your words on this forum mean little. It's actions that matter.

I too wish for better health care, pay, and work rules. However, I choose to make my desires heard by participating in Council meetings, writing or calling my rep, and filling out surveys. BTW, you and I have nothing to do with our contract negotiations. You nor I will ever be the ones who will be the reason why we will never negotiate the contract we want. All we have is a YES or NO vote. Perhaps you should focus your energy on reading our union material(and DPA's as well if you wish) so that when the time comes, we will be educated on what is being presented to us. That way we will understand the TA and will be able to vote with knowledge, rather then emotion.
