HTF, The other law firm is GMC Law. Their clients are mostly the corporate side.
From what I can make of the constitution, the reps and committee members will be getting paid more than current ALPA LEC reps and committee members. It would vary with ALV, but could be as much as 18 hours per month more, and even in a low ALV month, they'll be paid 3 hours more. Either way it's more so I don't understand the complaints about ALPA rep or committee volunteer pay. And that's for only half a month of work.
Does it take a 2/3s majority to pass a TA or LOA on to the membership? If so, I'm not for that. It allows a minority to block progress. Somebody got a good explanation for this?
If this is a cut and paste of the USAPA way of doing business, it would save us money to stick to the current way of doing business.
