Yes, there needs to be a test and there needs to be a section on “RLA Dynamics.” You need to prove, for example, that you understand the President cannot stop a strike and write a three-paragraph essay about how the “book away phenomena” works.

Even more importantly, to hold any kind of office or be appointed to any committee at SWAPA, you should need to pass a similar but more extensive test on how organized labor works, similar to a bar exam for attorneys or something. Ideally, you’d also have to affirm by oath that you understand and acknowledge that the RLA is not slanted against labor but, in fact, it’s slanted against the less educated, less informed, and “stupider” side (like a lot of things in life).
