If you are trying to establish or portray yourself as a voice of reason, you are failing miserably.

The only way to "jump ahead of the rest when you go on strike" is to cross the picket line. Is that what you aspire to be, the very definition of scab?
Despicable.

Unions are the political BANE of society and soon the law will change that I won't have to pay a nickel in union dues. NOT ONE PENNY.

My agenda is against the discriminatory BEHAVIOR of labor unions against their minorities. The APA stripped me and many other of my seniority if FAVOR OF THEIR MAJORITY. While the physical actions and racial overtones of Jim Crow were certainly much WORSE than that of our cause, the practice by APA and ALPA are of the same discriminatory ilk. And to that I say if your one of them, and you support that action, them you are what the union defines as a "SCAB". PURE AND SIMPLE.

I am anti-union, anti-ALPA, anti-APA ...
Your anger issues are obviously clouding your judgment.
