(I was Sec Tres of our local council in RIC and would do weekly phone messages ending with "Fly The Contract".
Hired at Continental Airlines in Nov 2007 and guess what.. said "Fly The Contract" from day one.

When I joined my last Air Guard unit, I learned "Fly The Contract" from the United, Delta and UPS pilots in our squadron. It was referring to AFI 11C2-5 which was basically our contract!

So for someone/anyone to tell me that because of something that happened at Legacy United back in the 2000's (before I and many of us were there), I am 'not' allowed to say (or write) Fly the Contract.. well, not gonna change.
If I'm a pariah out there and need to eat and drink along on the overnight, no problem.

Getting back to the question-
Has your union ever been sued by your company resulting in a temporary injunction. Hmm... I don't know.
I can find NOTHING on the UAL ALPA Website discussing the past history of United ALPA. I heard it happened but again, only from posts on here and talking to some people who were around back then. (and from being banned from UAL Pilots Forum years ago for writing it! lol)
There must be some 'official' history in the ALPA National archives that discuss it.

Also, interesting that you wrote 'temporary' injunction. So whatever happened is no longer valid?!
Are you an expert that can educate myself, the other LCAL pilots (probably around 3000ish) and the other PMNH's (around 4000ish) on the history. And no one paragraph write-up. Something THAT big MUST require a few pages of reading.. to include the court summary.. Thanks
