And yeah, they were fighting the constituents really hard... the most shameful example of Jim Crow voting shenanigans I've ever seen.
Meeting downtown where commuters have hard time getting there.... oh, of course there's some weak excuse that they tagged it onto another meeting, where it didn't have to be.
Proxies limited to 3, hand carried
Proxies not allowed to actually VOTE on the issue, just GIVE their vote to proxy holder.
ALPA emails sent to all, distorting the claims against SLC chair into a TA issue.
ALPA emails offering to carry only "No RECALL" votes by proxy, not EVERY UNION MEMBER'S vote who desired to fairly cast one.
Numerous emails sent out via ALPA by all and sundry, but only messages from them on "No lobbying for or talking about recall on company property!" messages to address the other side of an issue ALPA itself should be silent on and let proceed fairly.

This looked to me like a dictator using all the power at his disposal to stay in power. I was absolutely, totally disgusted. No single thing I have seen in 15 years at Delta has so turned me away from ALPA.
