I don’t believe this is accurate. I’m going to ask around and see if I can’t find a breakdown of ALPA dues allocation.
I will agree with the rest though, we brag about all the money we have as a local, all the “experts” we're free to hire, all of the good work we can do. Yet nothing ever gets done. I voted for this current executive board somewhat enthusiastic that they’d bring change. I am deeply concerned JK was made chairman of the NC, he’s vile and a disruption to bargaining. I’m growing more concerned by the day at the silence from our union. What happened to RS as the communication chair? Did he quit?
In that word salad explanation of the process the other day, it sounds like IBT expects the NMB to hold a vote now? Shouldn’t it be all hands on deck to show why our dues should continue to go their way? I’m concerned that they don’t have any hands to put on deck. Let’s be honest, we aren’t Amazon so I doubt outside of GU there’s really much interest for us at IBT HQ.
