I don't see any of the benefits that you are talking about with ALPA. If you don't like what's happening at APA, then run for office, change it. This is our union, it is what we make it.
The ALPA president can say whatever he wants but at the end of the day, he cannot compel any individual MEC what to do. Only each MEC can decide what their priorities are, their strategic plan, what to negotiate for, and what to agree to.
By the way, out of curiosity, what is the dues rate for APA?
