Again as an outsider, I don't think that is the same thing at all. I have never seen a union say that some subset of members would not negotiate with their own union.
I think USAPA's statement complaining that the West Pilots will not negotiate seniority with their own union is pretty much admitting the West is not being fairly represented.
Of course, this is only my opinion. The only opinion that really matters is the judge this will once again eventually be in front.
