Don’t bet on it. There are all kinds of specializations in law. Even if they know about it, they might talk themselves out of even attempting it. ALPA has a great track record of getting people’s jobs back by exploiting technicalities in contract law but they’re not experts in everything else. They often succumb to false ideaologies such as “we have bigger fish to fry”.
Most importantly, you should take it upon yourselves to take individual action to help the cause. Don’t assume that you can outsource everything and that the outcome will be favorable to you. You don’t have to be a lawyer to do anything. If you have a high school education and you can read, then you can read the laws for yourself and you can write lots of letters.
Consider this, the people who were supposed to be official watchdogs for our servant government failed us during the Obama administration. It has taken public 501(c)(3) organizations and watchdog groups such as Judicial Watch to use FOIA requests (and lawsuits for not honoring FOIA) to identify corruption at the deepest levels of government. I sincerely think something fishy is going on with the government not allowing trucks to be run.
