Ok, what about my comparison to a city council? Of did you work on your city council as well?

I dont mind a fight, and I dont mind losing a fight, but I would at least like to know that a fight is happening before it is declared over.
You can always check the agenda items of the Executive Board and Executive Council via the My ALPA link at ALPA.org.
Or you can just sign up for all the blastmails at the same website. A lot of this was out before the voting even commenced.
By the way, this was not something decided by MECs. It was decided by all the individual reps.
