How is my rant way off base? Do you believe the avg. American is educated and informed enough to know the difference between public and private unions, much less why/how ALPA is different from the TSA?
I posit they aren't, and furthermore they could care less. Which leaves it to those of us who DO care about unions (and the middle class) to be the ones to get worked up over unions blatant ineffectiveness and the sub-par performance of it's membership. I posit that the avg. American will look at the TSA then lump ALPA in the same basket.
Put another way, the gross negligence of the TSA causes indirect but very real harm to other unions.
How am I wrong?
