Seriously, my teenage kids do a better job using the search function than all of you. I implore all who read this, inform yourself from the source and go read the rule change which occured roughly 5 years ago. Yes, historically you had to first decertify and then elect new representation in a later vote. The federal goverment believed this was archaic-- it was-- and it was adapted to what we have present day. In a hypothetical scenario where Allegiant decides to leave Teamsters for the world of ALPA, it would all occur in one swift move. The same vote to rid us of this STD, er... I mean union... would also be the vote to elect ALPA. I am no expert, but from what I read, the ballot would appear as 1. Union A 2. Union B or 3. No Union.

My goodness, can we not walk and chew gum at the same time either?
