BS. That C2K opener was released...period. The company's opener is ALWAYS obscene and ridiculous. This time, our union won't release it. Everyone needs to make their own decisions as to why that is.

Exactly correct! That's precisely why you release the opener to your members. You're going to need their support when it comes to crunch time. Do you realize what it means when DALPA doesn't release it this time? Do you understand that it means either DALPA doesn't care about us supporting their negotiating goals, or they know we wouldn't if we found out what they were?
