Second, if/when you are 'challenged' by a CP about your ALPA badge (lanyard) as the MEC letter said, be respectful BUT be sure you tell him you are removing it UNDER PROTEST, and ASK for his NAME, get out your pen, let him see you are writing down his name, time and location of his challenging YOUR RIGHT to be in a Union and display a Union badge!
