I judge the way my union works for me based on its achievement of my goals, not yours, and in my assessment of what I believe should a, would a, could a been possible under the circumstances at the time. That is the only realistic metric in my view. At the end of the day, we must each cast our votes for or against a TA or a rep on our own personal and informed assessment of those metrics.
I do not need to know whether my fellow pilots value this over that to make those judgments.
