well deserved nut punch. But, ALPA national resources and access to legislators and the ability to have an impact on lawmakers who control issues on a national scale isn’t the same as individual MEC’s who drop the ball and negotiate a turd of a contract. I still understand the value of what ALPA can provide, while still holding my reps accountable. But yes, your post made me chuckle too.
