As far as an alternative organization, I am here to tell you, if humans are involved ; ego, politics and greed will come into play. This is the nature of most humans. To be looked up at. To seek approval. To have power. It is built in our genes. Survival of the fittest. Most people think: what is good for them, is good for everybody..Cough Cough Pelosi and Franke
Trust me, a new organization will be the answer to all our problems: maybe for a year or two. Then the "same" people will take control and create the CLUB.
That would likely have been true man, but the main reason I wanted out from under the influence of ALPA national was so that we didn't have the conflicted relationship by also representing regionals. An independent union would have freed us from that. No doubt that the same internal power struggles from the self-interested would have occurred.
