"Hey Freightdog. I quit wearing my lanyard when our alpa quit representing me"

I can't blame you at all. The thing is if you are not wearing a lanyard you could be mistaken as a nonmember. If you wear it backwards you send a message that your MEC has refused to hear your view because they know it will not be their own and you have a chance to spread the word when someone asks why you have it on backward. I say everyone who can show up to the meeting with Capt Prather with backward lanyards and pelting him with questions about why our MEC refuses to hear form the majority of it's members on issues like retroactivity for those over 60 when the change happens. Looks like our MEC thinks the "Taking it Back Tour" means taking back our democratic rights as dues paying union members to have a say on issues concerning our careers. Let's ask Capt Prather what he thinks. Again, just a thought...
