I'm tired of hearing what the union CAN'T do. Most of us have a pretty good handle on what is legal and what isn't. Illegal actions are far removed from those which could/should be taken and as far as I can tell, aren't with any effective regularity.
Jag comes up with a great general recommendation (for all of us)....LEAD!
Busboy has the best specific recommendation:

At least once a week, I get an email telling me which DPs were flown in the previous week. What I have never once received, is an email specifically outlining the above Busboy quote.
The union would be breaking no laws by outlining the process and pointing out exactly how section 25.BB.E works. The force needs constant reminders...preferably with pictures
