Again, YOUR MEC worked it into the TA, NOT ALPA NATIONAL. How come you guys can't get this simple concept through your thick skulls? The place I used to work had a No-strike clause for years. ALPA National didn't negotiate it...we did. We traded it for pay rate stability.

In fact, National insisted the no-strike letter remain as an unpublished side letter so they wouldn't have to sign a contract with a no-strike letter in it.

Get a grip. If you have heartburn with your contract look no further than the guys you elected as your LEC officers. They elected the MEC officers and approved the Negotiating Committee members.

Your anger is misdirected.
