All of those examples would be illegal work actions if the union encouraged them.
The union doesn't have to encourage them. They should encourage flying safely.
How are those illegal work actions? Since when is following the FOM/CFM illegal work actions?
"Writing everything up" - Flying around with inop equipment is a violation waiting to happen.
"not blocking out until getting cargo slip." FOM specifically states you need cargo slip before closing the door.
"run the APU" - Safety issue, generator redundancy, bleed misconfig.
"taxi slowly" - Safety issue, look at all the runoffs.
"not calling ops for numbers" - Sit in the penalty box until ground crew/load control does their job.
"if you need to burn off fuel do it at idle" - FOM states taxi with no more than 35% N1, to avoid FOD ingestion.
