I believe his application could be considered, and then rejected by the local council leadership without it even being considered by the body at a meeting. I don't believe that the application actually requires consideration if the individual is a scab, is in bad standing, has debts/assessments, or unpaid dues, or if he/she has been otherwise disqualified (ie article 8).

I do think ALPA needs to do something about this.....why can't the scabs just go away? I'd like to see ALPA do something so that we don't have to continually get side-tracked and distracted by this foolishness.
