I want to show my support for the Union to come here. But I don't want to wear a lanyard. I've gotten annoyed by my lanyard.
Wear it. It's about more than just being a "member".
I was non union at my first regional when I was hired. I inquired back then if it would be ok if I, a non ALPA pilot, wear an ALPA lanyard to show support.
I wore it and a few years later we voted in ALPA.
So obviously me wearing the lanyard worked.
