I continue to hope they will give us a best of both worlds deal. Otherwise they are really wasting a ton of our money. I appreciate the dues holiday though.
The apathetic lose their voice if they don’t vote. They don’t vote for the contract? It’s decided for them whether it passes or not. Hate the candidate for APA pres? Well didn’t vote and they still get elected…..
A lot of things get decided for you if you don’t bother to vote. Want to stay APA? VOTE. We shouldn’t stay APA just because you can’t bother to vote that way while those engaged say go ALPA.
Of course there is the other way of making sure a loud minority doesn’t dictate things either, but our representatives have been elected with <20% of the group. So either way a loud minority could very well be dictating our direction here. Not just for ALPA, but S6 as well as the BOD steers the direction.
