OK, so explain how they are supposed to go about business then. With the "threat" of being thrown out as our representation, just how should they be acting? Ignore the dee pee ay? How can they do that when the dee pee ay is actively recruiting and spouting lies and innuendo on a daily basis? In other words, dALPA cannot AFFORD to ignore the insurgency so they have to spend time, money and resources fighting it off. It will be interesting to see how the dee pee ay acts when they find that everybody isn't singing Kumbaya for all of their decisions, and the next union to end all unions starts it's drive. Better save a little on each paycheck for your assessment to fight it off.
