And the union wants us to wear their lanyards to show our support for them?

Uh, no.

It is very difficult to hold union leaders accountable for their actions that are to the detriment of the crew force.

If we didn't have agency shop, we could vote our displeasure with our feet.

The union, of course, deemed agency shop more important than full per diem.

Follow the money, it's all about the dues.
