It means what it says. Here's an example to better understand the question:

If the UAW follows the same policy as DALPA does (i.e. supporting unions that have a higher degree of an organized work force), and thus avoids Delta when it can fly American instead, does our union support that action? Based on its policy of supporting another labor union though its policy of supporting the hotels that are organized, one would see the consistency in such support. It would be dumb, but it would be consistent.
