Guess who makes up the "union" people like you and I, so the more we sit back and do nothing, the more we are allowing ourselves to be taken advantage of.........
Well, I volunteer and participate in ALPA... but I have only been around a couple of years. My generation of newhires and those after me are inheriting the momentum built up over decades, and for some reason the folks in power just won't respond to the rapidly changing environment. Why why why? It seems we get a small foothold and SLIP its gone again. And, I don't think that the fact that there are newhires is the problem. I keep bringing it up, but look at the longshoremen. They get paid bank and there are plenty of folks who would like to do their jobs... ***?
