TONYC --

It shouldn't be about majority rule in all instances. But that is a strawman (make someone's argument for them weaker than they would make it so that you can knock it down) anyway. This was using DW's FDX ALPA chairman ship to influence the shaping of federal legislation for 150 people. This was using the money and voice of all FDXers for 150 people. This wasn't protecting the rights of anyone. There was no legal right. That is what DW went and got. NOW they do have the right. Congratulations. 150 people are better off than they otherwise would have been.
The argument IMO is whether that was an appropriate use of our resources in the stewardship of the union. On that, we obviously differ.
