How does you mocking their situations foster "unity?" Pretty low class, really. For that matter, how does you playing the north/south card promote unity?

Let's look at this whole process from management's perspective.

Today, they had a hotwash with their union buster to critique the test run of their C15 strategy. It's called "Divide and Conquer."

Here's how it works:

- the union buster writes a memo that totally ignores the contract. SD signs it.

- DALPA hems, haws and fails to provide decisive leadership, implicitly condoning the memo

- the company takes hostages by monetarily and psychologically penalizing those who stand up for the contract

- DALPA doesn't do jack **** to assist the hostages

- the guys who step up despise DALPA for a lack of backbone

- guys who aren't personally affected see DALPA rolling over; disunity ensues

- several months or years later, DALPA produces an inadequate TA and MD writes a "victory lap" memo

- yada yada yada (the closest description I can manage to describe what just happened)

- we get our asses handed to us a la C12

Bar, you preach "unity" but blindly fail to recognize that DALPA's actions (or inactions) are largely at fault.
