It would be good for you to find out the history of the SCBA and why it was not voted on. From your posts you really have no idea what you are talking about.
You could google:
ALPA Merger Policy
Allegheny/Mohawk
Railway Labor Act
You should do your homework before posting these things Mike. Not just listen to the spew of a few who were not here.
Surveys are how the leadership finds out what the membership wants. We had many surveys prior to the last negotiations. But you were not here - so you would not know that.
Any change to the CBA will be voted on by the membership. Nothing that significantly affects the career or pay of the membership gets implemented without a vote.
