The chief pilot should be able to just look at the tape and figure it out if it's that critical.
Published guidance to the Flight Attendants on the AFA drive ...

• An aircraft is always a work/operations area. Solicitation or advocacy activities are not permitted on board the aircraft at any time.
• Other work areas include gatehouses, jetways, briefing rooms and the ramp.
• Parking lots are considered non-work areas, but solicitation activities must not interfere with traffic or harass people.
• If an area in a lounge or break room is used for work and non-work purposes, solicitation or advocacy activities are permitted in that area only when it is not being used for work purposes.
• Solicitation or advocacy activities may never be undertaken in a harassing manner or in a manner that interferes with people who do not wish to be solicited.
It would not surprise me if ALPA's guidance tended on the conservative side to avoid unnecessary issues. By it's nature the DPA would be more difficult to hold accountable.
There is probably more specific guidance in the HRPM.
