Why does everything have to be one extreme or the other with you (not just you, but a lot of DALPA aficionados)? It's either proactive appeasement or it's all out war. Did you ever consider that there could be a middle ground? Did you ever consider that it's possible to stand up for what's right and be assertive, without dropping a nuclear bomb? Did you ever consider that management might respect us more if they saw that we respect ourselves?
Hope the workout cleared your head!

Yes I feel much better, thanks
So then will the DPA will be making some sort of concessions now and again? Well how do I know that they will be any more acceptable than the ones that dALPA has to make now and again? Because Caplinger says so? I think the nuclear bomb to which you refer is a change of representation, and I have seen absolutely nothing from them that could change that opinion. Except a lower dues rate. But what about that agency shop thing?
